Dynamo's Jimmy Maurer, Sounders' Stefan Frei duel to scoreless draw
SEATTLE (AP) --- Jimmy Maurer finished with four saves in his first start for
Houston and Seattle's Stefan Frei stopped the only shot he faced as the Dynamo
and Sounders played to a scoreless draw at Lumen Field on Saturday night.
Maurer replaced Andrew Tarbell last week after the starter injured his knee in
the first half of a 2-1 home loss to Real Salt Lake and was lost for the
season. Maurer had 16 clean sheets in seven seasons and 65 starts with FC
Dallas before joining the Dynamo (0-3-2), whose three losses have all come at
home this season.
Frei finished off his first clean sheet of the season and the 100th of his
career with the Sounders (1-2-2) in his fourth start this season. He has 119
shutouts in 411 career starts. Frei's first 19 clean sheets came in three
seasons and 82 starts with Toronto FC.
Maurer had three saves and Frei wasn't tested in the first half.
The Dynamo have never beaten the Sounders in Seattle. The two clubs played to a
pair of scoreless draws last season.
The Sounders improve to 12-1-4 in the last 16 matchups with the Dynamo across
all competitions.
Former Sounders captain Nicols Lodeiro helped the Dynamo earn a point in his
first trip back to Seattle.
The Dynamo remain in the Pacific Northwest to play the Portland Timbers on
Saturday. The Sounders travel to play the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday.
