RECAP: Sounders battle Austin FC to scoreless draw in home opener | Seattle Sounders

De la Vega’s first start

After coming off the bench in the second half to make his first club appearance last week, offseason Young Designated Player signing de la Vega earned his first Sounders start on Saturday. The 23-year-old Argentine was incisive for 60 minutes as the No. 10 in Head Coach Brian Schmetzer’s 4-2-3-1 formation and had the freedom to roam all over the pitch.

After conceding twice last week, the Sounders earned their first clean sheet of the season, showing yet again why they were one of the best defensive units in MLS last year. They held Austin to just three shots on the night and only 0.1 Expected Goals.

The Sounders will head to Philadelphia to take on the Union at Subaru Park (4:30 p.m. PT; Watch on MLS Season Pass on Apple TV, 950 KJR AM, El Rey 1360AM). This will be the first meeting between the two sides since 2019.

The gas line supplied a single-family residence. The home was evacuated. Natural gas readings in the area and wind direction prompted crews to evacuate all residences for one block to the north of the broken gas line.

Firefighters set up an exclusionary zone to keep people from entering the impacted area. Fire crews along with Seattle Police and King County Metro used apparatus to block streets from Martin Luther King Jr. Way S. at S. Jackson St. to 31^st Ave. S. and the Northbound lanes of S. Washington St.

Puget Sound Energy arrived and secured the gas leak by 1 p.m. All residents were able to safely reoccupy their homes. No injuries reported.

FOLLOWUP: See how SFD’s double-dog rescue ended

Thursday, we reported on Seattle Fire crews rescuing “two large dogs” from a 30-foot embankment in The Arroyos. It was in an off-the-beaten-path-enough area that there was no way we could get there for photos, so we asked SFD if their crew might make any available. Today, they did, above and below:

We asked SFD spokesperson Kaila Lafferty if she had any information about the circumstances: “The two dogs escaped from their fenced back yard. It is unclear how they got out of the fenced yard and ended up down the bluff.”
