El primer juego de la temporada MLS 2009 sera recordado en la historia de la Liga. Es la primera vez que un equipo recien formado gano una victoria contra un equipo establecido. Mis felicidades para los Sounders FC de Seattle, Estado de Washington.

The opening game of the MLS on March 19, 2009 is one that will be written in the history books of American Soccer. It pitted the newborn Sounders FC of Seattle, Washington against the New York Red Bulls in a David VS Goliath Match at Qwest Stadium.

The game got off to a roaring start with both teams struggling for possession of the ball. In the end, the Sounders had control of the game, the field, and the ball. The team from Seattle surprised the world when Freddy Montero made his debut with a goal within the first few minutes of the game.

Freddy Montero kicked the ball directly into the net surprising the New York Red Bulls Goalkeeper. The ball landed in the right hand corner of the net. The spectators at Qwest Stadium were jumping for joy while a TV Monitor showed Drew Carey celebrating.

Drew Carey is the Entertainer from Ohio who is a supporter of the Sounders FC. He also owns a minor stake in the team but the important thing is that history was made.

New York attempted an equalizer but were no match for the team. Montero engineered another surprise by helping Brad Evans score a second goal within the first half of the game.

The second half of this historical game left New York emotionally and physically drained. It appeared that they were playing if only to finish the game. Montero again scores another goal towards the end of the game and consolidates the victory of the newborn Sounders FC.

Freddy Montero and the Sounders FC deserve all of the praise for this game that left a lot of memories.
