Stefan Frei Taken Off Field in Ambulance as Sounders and Crew Play to 1-1 Tie

  • During the final moments of Sunday's MLS match against the Columbus Crew at Lumen Field, Seattle Sounders' goalkeeper Stefan Frei was injured when he collided with a player's knee while attempting to intercept a free kick and was subsequently taken off the field for medical evaluation.
  • Frei collided with a Columbus player’s knee as he landed, leading to an on-field examination lasting about five minutes before he was stretchered off and taken to a hospital for evaluation.
  • The match ended in a 1-1 draw with Columbus scoring first through Diego Rossi in the 27th minute and Paul Rothrock equalizing for Seattle in the 43rd minute; Frei also recorded his 1,000th regular-season save earlier in the game.
  • Sounders coach Brian Schmetzer confirmed that Frei remained conscious and was undergoing evaluation for potential neck and head injuries, and both head coaches agreed to end the match during the final moments of stoppage time following the injury.
  • Frei, a 39-year-old veteran who joined Seattle in 2014, has helped win two MLS Cups including being named MVP in 2016, and this injury could have implications for the team's upcoming road match versus Sporting Kansas City.
