MLS: Tani Oluwaseyi bags brace as Minnesota United win at Seattle
Handing Seattle Sounders their first home defeat of the year, Minnesota United has Tani Oluwaseyi to thank after producing an all round display with his brace at Emerald City to cap off an undefeated road trip in the Western Conference, Nigeriasoccernet.com report.
Following a nervy goalless first half, the breakthrough arrived in the 51st minute, sparked by a sweeping cross-field move that allowed the Loons to exploit the open space on the pitch. Robin Lod’s overlapping run created the perfect opportunity for a cross back across the box where Tani Oluwaseyi was perfectly positioned to put his team ahead with his seventh goal of the season.
He completed his brace when Joaquín Pereyra’s shot from distance forced Stefan Frei to spill the rebound right into the path of Tani Oluwaseyi to record his eighth goal of 2025 with a classic poacher’s finish.
Despite the host fight, the Loons took a much needed three points on the road, finishiing the matchday third in the Western Conference, tied with San Diego with 30 points apiece albeit trailing by a goal difference.
