Seattle Sounders moved a step closer to clinching a play-off berth courtesy of a crushing 4-1 win over Houston Dynamo in MLS.
The Sounders boosted their post-season chances thanks to goals from Will Bruin and Cristian Roldan, while Victor Rodriguez's late double sealed Monday's comfortable victory.
Seeking their 10th consecutive play-off appearance, Seattle opened the scoring via Bruin in the 18th minute – the former Dynamo forward's shot finding the top corner of the net.
