SEATTLE — John McCarthy finished with five saves for the Galaxy and Stefan Frei stopped three shots for the Seattle Sounders as they played to a scoreless draw on Sunday.
McCarthy had four saves and Frei stopped the only shot he faced in the first half.
Frei became available to play for the Sounders (2-5-4) after the red card he received in a match against D.C. United last weekend was rescinded by an independent review panel.
Seattle held the Galaxy’s Joseph Paintsil in check. The 26-year-old rookie forward had four goals and four assists in his first 838 minutes of action with the Galaxy (5-2-4).
The Galaxy played without Riqui Puig, who missed the match because of an accumulation of yellow cards.
The Sounders improved to 5-0-3 in their last eight at home against the Galaxy, who have not won in Seattle since a 1-0 victory in July of 2016.
It was the 50th all-time matchup between the two clubs in all competitions with Seattle holding a 19-17-14 advantage. The Sounders lead 14-11-14 in league play.
