Sounders FC 2 (3-13-2, 11 points) and Las Vegas Lights FC (6-8-5, 23 points) on Thursday will play the second of two matches this season (7:00 p.m. PT / ESPN+), and the first hosted by Seattle. Las Vegas defeated S2, 4-1, on June 16 in Nevada, which was the first-ever meeting between the clubs.

In the first meeting, captain Ray Saari tallied his first goal of the season for the visitors, and Samuel Ochoa scored twice in the first 35 minutes for Vegas. Ochoa added an assist on a Zach Mathers goal in the 49th minute.

Seattle on Thursday will attempt to snap a six-game los-ing streak, while Las Vegas will play its fourth consecutive road fixture. Lights FC is 1-2-0 in its last three matches, and is coming off a 2-1 victory at Portland Timbers 2 on July 22.

MATCH PREVIEW

INJURY REPORT

Sounders FC 2 (3-13-2, 11 points) on Friday night played a strong first half against one of the USL’s top clubs, but a second-half goal from Phoenix Rising FC (11-4-5, 38 points) gave the home side a 1-0 win in Scottsdale. The victory moves Phoenix into second place in the Western Conference with 38 points.

S2 held one of the top-scoring teams in the USL score-less for the first 55 minutes, but a chip from Chris Cortez in the 56th was enough for Phoenix to come away victorious. A misplay on the backline caused Seattle goalkeeper Calle Brown to leave his goalmouth, and Cortez was able to chip it over his head for the lone goal of the evening. The marker was the ninth of the season for Cortez, who now ranks tied for third in the league in that category.

Seattle saw appearances from three First Team play-ers in Alex Roldan, Henry Wingo and Brown, and two Academy players in Cam Martin and Gio Miglietti. Azriel Gonzalez returned to action after helping the Sounders FC Academy U-17 squad win the USSDA Championship.

S2 HEAD COACH JOHN HUTCHINSON

On moving forward towards the end of the season:

“We’re going to start getting some more players back. I know they’re going to be young, but they’re going to start joining our squad now. Our U-17s won the National Championship, which is an incredible feat and some of these boys are going to start getting some minutes for us. They’ve got the winning mentality and they are going to help us a lot when they come up and start playing for our team and getting some more numbers. I don’t want people to think that we are here just to devel-op football, which is a goal of ours, but to develop football you need to develop a winning mentality. Somewhere along the line we need to start trans-ferring these okay performances and at least get a point out of it.”

2018 SOUNDERS FC 2 STATISTICS

S2 vs. LAS VEGAS LIGHTS FCThursday, July 26, 2018 - 7:00 p.m. PT

Seattle Sounders FC and the Tacoma Rainiers announced on November 1, 2017 that beginning in 2018, Sounders FC 2’s previously-announced transition to Tacoma is accelerating, allowing S2 to play its home matches at Cheney Stadium, while progress continues toward a new soccer-specific facility. Earlier in 2017, the two clubs reached a historic agreement to build a 5,000-seat facility in Central Tacoma on the footprint of Cheney Stadium. While that process moves forward, South Sound soccer fans are now able to see their USL side play in Tacoma several seasons ahead of schedule.

“Our organization was already thrilled to be moving ahead with the Rainiers and the City of Tacoma on the new stadium project, but when we learned of the opportunity to begin playing USL games as soon as 2018 in a facility like Cheney Stadium, we embraced the chance,” said Sounders FC Owner Adrian Hanauer. “From Rainiers leadership to the many civic officials in Tacoma that are working hard to deliver professional soccer to their city, we’re humbled to have such willing partners in this effort. As soon as next season, fans can enjoy a first-class experience at Cheney, allowing the club to make a tangible connection to the City of Tacoma earlier than expected.” Originally announced in May of 2017, the partnership brings together two of the Northwest’s premier professional sports organizations to reach a first-of-its-kind relationship in USL within the same regional market. The Tacoma Rainiers are an award-winning franchise that has been a staple of the South Sound community for over 50 years, operating as the top affiliate of Major League Baseball’s Seattle Mariners. They will operate the business side of the new era of the USL club, taking advantage of the decades of experience operating a professional organization in the Tacoma market, while Sounders FC is set to maintain leadership over soccer operations and sporting infrastructure. With key details coming together - including a name for the organization that is representative of its new home - it was announced today that much like the naming of the Sounders FC First Team, Tacoma fans will have influence over the identity of their new club. Details for that process are forthcoming, with the team to play under the S2 brand in the near-term during this transition.
