A first-half goal from Roger Levesque and relentless effort at the defensive end enables the Sounders to snap Columbus’s MLS record 22-game home unbeaten streak with a 1-0 victory at Crew Stadium. Making only his second start of regular season, Levesque stakes Seattle to a lead in the 36th minute. The defending MLS champion Crew’s best chance to score comes in the 81st minute. Guillermo Barros Schelotto sends his penalty kick wide of the left post. Tyrone Marshall figured in three pivotal defensive plays. He redirects Eddie Gaven’s shot off the crossbar and later Marshall’s overhead kick saves a Steven Lenhart header on the goal line.

Price tag is $35 million, and once an MLS ownership group is in place, construction could begin. Sounders earlier considered sites in Fife, east of Lake Washington, and more recently at the Midway Landfill.
