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

  • The Seattle Sounders and Columbus Crew ended their match in a 1-1 draw on Sunday, which was cut short due to an injury to goalkeeper Stefan Frei at Lumen Field.
  • While attempting to intercept a free kick, Frei collided heads with a Crew player's knee, leading both coaches to mutually decide to end the match.
  • Frei, age 39, has played for Seattle since 2014, helped the team win MLS Cups in 2016 and 2019, and made his 1,000th regular-season save during this game.
  • Sounders coach Brian Schmetzer noted that Frei remained conscious and responsive, with movement in his fingers, while Crew coach Wilfried Nancy emphasized the importance of having confidence and exercising patience.
  • The premature end to the game reflects concern for Frei's health and highlights the sportsmanship between both coaches amid a closely contested match.
