The result booked Seattle’s matchup with Liga MX’s Club Leon in the CCL quarterfinals come March, where they’ll continue their push at becoming the first MLS club to win the continental tournament’s modern iteration.
With the series locked in a scoreless deadlock following Leg 1 in Tegucigalpa, Seattle found a breakthrough opener shortly after the half-hour mark through Nicolas Lodeiro. The Uruguayan playmaker pounced on his own rebound after his initial shot was blocked, then bounced a first-time volley past Motagua goalkeeper Jonathan Rougier.
Cristian Roldan kicked off a second-half onslaught shortly after the restart, sneaking behind Motagua’s backline entirely unmarked and cashing home a Lodeiro free kick, putting the Rave Green in the driver’s seat in the 47th minute.
