Rusnk scores 2 goals, Musovski scores for the 5th game in a row, Sounders beat Dynamo 3-1

Albert Rusnák scored twice, and Danny Musovski netted for the fifth consecutive game as the Seattle Sounders defeated the Houston Dynamo 3-1 on May 10. Musovski opened the scoring in the 22nd minute with a header from a Paul Rothrock assist, while Rusnák secured the lead with a goal just after halftime. The Dynamo equalized in the 32nd minute with Femi Awodesu's first MLS goal, but the match turned when he received a red card for a handball in the 38th minute. Playing a man down, the Dynamo struggled to regain momentum. Seattle's Stefan Frei made three key saves, including a spectacular one-handed parry in the 60th minute.

The Sounders improved their record to 5-3-4, remaining unbeaten in five matches and outscoring opponents 11-2 during this stretch. This victory marks a significant turnaround for Seattle after a previous 0-0 draw against Houston in March. The Dynamo's recent form includes a prior 2-0 loss to Los Angeles FC, highlighting their struggles this season.
