Sounders earn a 1-1 draw on Marshall’s late goal at Houston

Associated Press

HOUSTON – Chad Marshall scored in the 94th minute to give the Seattle Sounders a 1-1 tie with the Houston Dynamo on Sunday.

Marshall buried the finish from just outside the 6-yard box after Oalex Anderson’s cross deflected off goalkeeper Joe Willis and defender Raul Rodriguez. The final whistle blew shortly after the ensuing kickoff to give Seattle (1-3-1) its first draw of the season.

Giles Barnes scored for Houston (1-2-2) in the 35th minute. He was facing away from the ball when Jalil Anibaba made a pass with Barnes turning around in time to see it coming his way and improvising a 15-yard turnaround flick that looped into the upper left corner.

Willis had five of his six saves in the second half, stopping Clint Dempsey’s attempt in the 92nd minute.
