Crew Stays Unbeaten with 1-1 Draw at Seattle

SEATTLE, WA - May 1, 2010 - The Columbus Crew withstood a strong first half by Sounders FC, rallied for an equalizer and held on for a 1-1 draw Saturday night at Qwest Field to retain it's unbeaten start to the 2010 season.

Seattle got off to a quick start with a score by Steve Zakuani in the match's fourth minute. After a series of passes in the midfield, Freddie Ljungberg sent a pass to a streaking Zakuani behind the Crew defense. Zakuani ran onto the pass and evaded Crew goalkeeper William Hesmer before sending his shot into the open net.

As the first half came to a close, the Crew's Danny O'Rourke ran on to pass from Eddie Gaven down the left flank before sending in a precise cross into the Seattle penalty box, where Steven Lenhart snuck through the Seattle defense to head home his first goal of the season and to silence the crowd at Qwest Field.
