Sounders Epitomize 'Bend Don't Break' in 1-0 Win Over Earthquakes

There were heroes everywhere in the Seattle Sounders' 1-0 MLS win over the San Jose Earthquakes on Sunday afternoon.

Paul Rothrock led a depleted Sounders (3-1-0 W-L-D) front with strong runs that netted a 20th-minute goal, while keeper Andrew Thomas had arguably his best game in 2026 with seven saves.

But what Antino Lopez did in the 74th minute to preserve that scoreline will stand the test of time.
