SAINT PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Defender Yeimar Andrade gave Seattle a first-half lead, but his own-goal early in the second half helped Minnesota United gain a 1-1 draw with the Sounders on Sunday.
Seattle (10-9-7) took a 1-0 lead in the 17th minute when Yeimar took a pass from Nicolás Lodeiro and scored for a second time this season. Stefan Frei had a save on Minnesota United’s only shot on goal to maintain the lead at halftime.
Minnesota United (8-8-8) evened the score on Yeimar’s gaffe in the 56th minute.

Seattle snapped a three-match losing streak in all competitions, but fell to 4-10-6 in its last 20 contests. The Sounders had won four straight over Minnesota United and now lead the all-time series 11-1-2.
Minnesota United improves to 3-1-2 in its last six matches after posting just two victories in its previous 13.
