The half chances succeeded in each other during the first 45 minutes, without the really hot opportunities appearing. Then, just before the half-time signal, Seattle's Raúl Ruidíaz could calmly roll in 1-0 in the open goal.
The home team extended to 2-0 in the middle of the second half before Zlatan Ibrahimovic seriously presented himself. After a corner, the Swede was able to nod his 23rd league goal for the season.
