Sounders rout Galaxy 4-0 in Carson

Seattle traveled to Carson to face LA Galaxy after a strong showing in Leagues Cup and returned with a commanding 4-0 victory. Coach Brian Schmetzer rotated seven players to keep the squad fresh and give minutes to emerging talents. An early own goal by Julian Aude and a Musovski brace set the tone, with Brunell adding a MLS debut goal to seal the result. The Galaxy pressed for a reply after halftime, but Seattle limited danger and extended their lead through smart finishing and quick counters. The win keeps Seattle on track for the league run-in as they prepare for a trip to Minnesota United.

Seattle is showing it can win with depth. Rotating players keeps legs fresh for a demanding schedule and reduces the risk of burnout. The result also highlights the club’s development pipeline, with academy graduates and homegrown players contributing meaningfully to the first team. The upcoming fixtures will test whether this approach sustains form and helps the squad peak at the right time of the season.
