The Seattle Sounders kept up the pressure on the Western Conference-leading Los Angeles Galaxy with a 4-3 Major League Soccer win over the Colorado Rapids.
The Rapids were twice ahead in the match, through Wells Thompson and then Jeff Larentowitcz, but first Alvaro Fernandez and then Roger Levesque got the Sounders back on level terms before Freddy Montero and Mauro Rosales put them in the driving seat in the final 10 minutes.
Caleb Folan grabbed a late consolation for Colorado but they could not force a leveller as Seattle moved within a point of the Galaxy, albeit having played a game more as Los Angelese took part in a friendly match against Real Madrid.
Elsewhere, Jack Jewsbury’s 25th-minute penalty earned the Portland Timbers a 1-0 triumph at the Chicago Fire, the hosts’ cause not helped by the 63rd-minute dismissal of Yamith Cuesta.
