Minute		Description
90' +5		The full-time whistle sounds, and it's a comprehensive 2-0 victory for Seattle. A double by Fucito on a couple of brilliant finishes, and Marathón did nothing to help their chase for a quarterfinal berth. It will come down to Matchday 6 for the Hondurans if they are to advance.
90' +2		A surprise half-volley by González catches Orio off guard, and he has to make a nice parry to keep that wicked drive out of the net.
90' +1		Into stoppage time we go, with four minutes to be added on after the injury stoppage for Boss.
90'		The corner comes in, and there is no danger for Seattle.
89'		A long drive by Randy Diamond takes a deflection, and it's a corner to Marathón.
88'		Seattle seem content now to run out the clock, as they pass the ball about the pitch.
87'		Nyassi is fouled on the right by Carlos Palacios, and it will be another free kick for the hosts as they continue to dominate this game.
85'		It has been a very disjointed second half with a lot of whistles for late challenges and sloppy fouls. But credit to Canadian referee Paul Ward, who is yet to brandish a card in the match.
83'		Just before another Seattle free kick, they make their final change as Montaño goes off to a nice ovation. Leonardo González takes his place on the pitch.
82'		L. González enters the game and replaces M. Montaño.

Minute		Description
81'		Estrada crosses near post for Nyassi, but the sub's header is well off the mark.
80'		A very late challenge by Acevedo on Vagenas brings the whistle and a free kick deep in the Marathón half. The visitors are pressing a bit, but fouls like that will end any chance they create.
79'		If this result holds, Marathón will go into the final matchday a point behind Saprissa for second place in Group C. They will host group winners Monterrey in three weeks while Seattle host Saprissa.
77'		Estrada crosses from the right, but it's an easy take for Orio as he attempts to spring action the other way.
75'		After about three minutes, Boss is back up and play can resume.
73'		R. Diamond enters the game and replaces H. Amarilla.
73'		Another away team sub with Randy Diamond replacing Héctor Amarilla.
72'		R. Flores enters the game and replaces M. Palacios.
72'		Now Marathón make a sub as Milton Palacios goes off in favor of Rony Flores. Meanwhile, Boss is clattered into on a corner and will need treatment.
71'		And indeed, coach Sigi Schmid does withdraw Fucito without hesitation. Sanna Nyassi takes his place for the final 20 minutes.
70'		S. Nyassi enters the game and replaces M. Fucito.
70'		Fucito picks up a bit of a knock. Don't be surprised to see Seattle take him off as a precaution.
68'		M. Fucito has scored a goal for Seattle Sounders!
68'		Goal Seattle! Montaño fakes his run to the ball, leaving Fucito to hit a sublime left-footed drive past Orio, who can only remain rooted to his line. A truly remarkable goal, and Seattle are now well on the way to their first points of the competitions.
66'		Another free kick for Seattle now on the edge of the penalty area as the chances pile up.
64'		Montaño strikes, but the ball sails high.
63'		Seattle have a dangerous free kick about 25 yards away close to center.
62'		Seattle make their first change as Peter Vagenas replaces Fernández. Meanwhile, a long-range drive by Mejía only misses narrowly over the bar.
61'		P. Vagenas enters the game and replaces Á. Fernández.
60'		Fernández is brought down by Berrios as we reach the hour mark, and Seattle have a free kick.
59'		Corner now to the visitors as they slowly get a bit of a hold in this game. Berrios' inswinger is low to the near post, and Seattle can easily clear.
58'		Mejía lays the ball back for Berrios at the top of the area, but the Marathón skipper sends the shot deep into the stands. Poor effort there, and Berrios will want another crack at that one.
56'		Offside flag goes up on Marathón as they enjoy a rare break forward.
54'		Estrada races past Astor Henríquez before crossing for Fucito, but the ball just cleared before the midfielder can latch on.
52'		Great save by Orio denies Levesque on the left side of the area, and a later shot by Montaño slips through the keeper before he gather to prevent disaster.
49'		Montaño gets a bit of the magic spray and will limp off for just a bit.
48'		Montaño is whistled for a foul in the area as he attacks against Norales, and the Seattle striker is going to require a bit of treatment.
47'		Long cross from the right by Zach Scott is flicked on by the head of Levesque, but Orio gathers easily.
46'		The teams are back out, and the match is under way with the second half.
45' +2		The half-time whistle goes, and Seattle have the advantage after dominating the opening period.
45'		Montaño works space at the top to play a ball for Levesque, but the pass was just too strong for the attacker to find.
43'		Berrios with a neat flick intended for Mejía through the middle, but Marshall heads clear.
41'		Fernández makes another darting run into the area, but Machado is there with a nice tackle to prevent the shot from being taken.
40'		Five minutes to go in the first half with Seattle up by a goal. For all their possession, the clear-cut chances have not been great in number for the hosts.
38'		On the corner, Fucito's effort finds Levesque at the far post. But the whistle sounds as the striker committed a foul on Erick Norales.
37'		Estrada wins yet another Seattle corner on the right side.
35'		Mejía attempts a drive from 35 yards, but the ball is blocked out for a throw by Tyrone Marshall.
33'		Tyson Wahl plays a long ball low for Levesque, but the striker is ruled to be offside.
32'		The free kick is a looping effort that is headed clear by the Seattle defenders. This is the most sustained pressure Marathón have enjoyed yet, but they have nothing to show for it.
31'		Free kick about 25 yards out for the visitors as Mejía is fouled by Fernández.
30'		There is a scramble on the corner, but Seattle are able to clear.
29'		A bit of positive news for Marathón as they win a corner on Carlos Will Mejía's deflected shot.
27'		Montaño again with a dangerous ball from the left side, but it's just out of reach for Levesque to latch onto near the center of the area.
26'		Montaño flings in a ball from the left for the far-post run of Estrada, but the attacker can't get a boot to the ball.
24'		Free kick just past the halfway line for Seattle as Montaño is impeded by a stray arm.
23'		Another good corner served in, this time from Montaño, forces the Marathón defense to scramble clear.
21'		M. Fucito has scored a goal for Seattle Sounders!
21'		Goal Seattle! A looping ball over the top is misplayed by Machado, allowing Fucito to run in behind and slam past Orio to give the hosts a deserved 1-0 lead.
20'		On the second corner from Fucito, Taylor Graham rises for a header only to be whistled for a foul against Machado.
19'		Another corner for Seattle as Levesque's shot deflects behind. Montaño's ball in is headed behind for yet another corner.
17'		Great flick over the top by Fernández gives him room for a shot at target, but a reaction save by Orio forces the corner. After two set piece efforts, Marathón finally win a goal kick.
15'		Álvaro Fernández goes down in the Marathón half, but his calls for a foul are ignored by the referee.

8'		Neat move by David Estrada on the right splits two Marathón defenders, but his pass to center for Levesque is poor. Marathón able to clear easily.

		Honduran side Marathón look to move to second place in CONCACAF Champions League Group C this evening with a win on the road against MLS side Seattle Sounders FC. Marathón are a point behind Deportivo Saprissa for second in the section after the Costa Ricans held Monterrey 2-2 on Tuesday. Seattle, meanwhile, have been miserable in the competition, having already been eliminated with zero points from four games. Marathón edged Seattle, 2-1, in the previous encounter in Honduras.
