SEATTLE — Nicolas Lodeiro ended a 362-minute Seattle scoreless drought in the 57th minute, and Magnus Wolff Eikrem headed in the winner in the 83rd on Saturday night as the Sounders rallied to beat D.C. United 2-1.
Seattle (3-7-2) had not scored since Handwalla Bwana’s tally in the 54th minute of a 2-1 win at Toronto on May 9. Since then, the Sounders were blanked by Portland and twice by Real Salt Lake.
The 362 minutes tied a club record for longest dry spell between goals, originally set in 2015.
Lodeiro’s shot from the top of the penalty-area restraining arc tied the game just four minutes after Darren Mattocks had put D.C. in front.
Cristian Roldan set up Eikrem’s first of the year.
The goal by Mattocks in the 53rd minute was his sixth the season for D.C. (2-6-3).
