Game notes

Seattle is coming off a 3-0 victory over New York last weekend, whereas RSL had a bye last weekend. … Salt Lake has never won a season-opener. … Tony Beltran is expected to start in place of Ian Joy, who injured his hamstring in last week's exhibition game. … Seattle star Freddie Ljungberg is expected to play a portion of the match as a substitute. … Seattle is coached by Sigi Schmid, who led Columbus to last year's MLS Cup title.
