Sounders FC defeat Stabaek IF 2-0 in their second match of the La Manga Cup in Spain. Watch video highlights and interviews following the match below.
Fredy Montero and Roger Levesque scored on assists from Freddie Ljungberg and Kasey Keller held up a clean sheet in a win over Stabaek in the second round of the La Manga Cup.
The Sounders FC had some issues to clear up following their 3-0 loss to Rosenborg BK in their first game of the La Manga Cup. On Sunday against Stabaek IF, it became clear very quickly that those deficiencies had been addressed.
Goals by Fredy Montero and Roger Levesque, both assisted by Freddie Ljungberg, put the Sounders up 2-0 in the first half. Then a stingy defense and a gutsy effort by Levesque in the second half kept Stabaek at bay and gave the Sounders a 2-0 win as Kasey Keller picked up the clean sheet.
From the second minute of the match it was apparent that issues of off-the-ball movement and aggressiveness in the offensive end wouldn’t plague them again this game. Osvaldo Alonso took a pass from Montero at the top of the box and shot. His attempt missed wide, but it showed a much more assertive approach.
