What happened: Cristian Roldan delivered the deciding goal in second-half stoppage time as Sounders pushed their run to three straight wins. The late finish turned a tight match into another full-points result.

Why it matters: Three straight victories can quickly change the feel of a regular-season stretch, especially when one arrives at the death. Taking all three points keeps momentum intact and gives the club another push in the MLS table.

What to watch: The next test is whether Sounders can carry the streak into their next league match after another result decided late.
