What happened: The finish put the Sounders ahead 1-0. Seattle acquired Joveljić as a Designated Player on Tuesday.
Why it matters: His contract runs through June 2030 with a club option through June 2031. The immediate contribution gives Seattle an early return on its midseason investment.
By the numbers: Joveljić entered his debut with eight goals and one assist in 20 appearances for Sporting KC this season.
What to watch: Seattle must convert the early lead into three points as Joveljić settles into the attack.
