Galaxy's McCarthy, Sounders' Frei stellar in scoreless draw
SEATTLE (AP) — John McCarthy finished with five saves for Los Angeles and Stefan Frei stopped three shots for Seattle as the Galaxy and Sounders played to a scoreless draw on Sunday.
McCarthy had four saves and Frei stopped the only shot he faced in the first half.
Frei became available to play for the Sounders (2-5-4) after the red card he received in a match against D.C. United last weekend was rescinded by an independent review panel.
Seattle held LA’s Joseph Paintsil in check. The 26-year-old rookie forward had four goals and four assists in his first 838 minutes of action with the Galaxy (5-2-4).
LA played without Riqui Puig, who missed the match because of an accumulation of yellow cards.
The Sounders improve to 5-0-3 in their last eight at home against the Galaxy, who have not won in Seattle since a 1-0 victory in July of 2016.
