Major League Soccer names Seattle Sounders 2017 MLS Fair Play Award winners

On Tuesday, Major League Soccer named the Seattle Sounders the 2017 Fair Play Award team recipients, which recognizes the club with the fewest regular-season disciplinary points.


The award is the first for the Sounders in the club’s nine-year MLS history, as Seattle finished with its second-fewest yellow cards ever, just one more than the 2013 season. The Sounders did not have a single player suspended for yellow-card accumulation this season.


The Sounders, who finished ahead of Toronto FC and the Chicago Fire, committed the fewest fouls in MLS, but recorded the third-most fouls suffered. Midfielder Nicolás Lodeiro also suffered the most fouls in the league and the third-most in league history.


Seattle will visit the Houston Dynamo in the first leg of the Western Conference Championship on Tuesday, Nov. 21, at BBVA Compass Stadium (7 p.m. PT; FS1, FOX Deportes, KIRO Radio 97.3 FM, El Rey 1360 AM).
