Sounders’ stopped game rescheduled for April 30

The Sounders-Philadelphia match from March 9, stopped due to a torrential downpour, has been rescheduled by Major League Soccer for April 30 at Subaru Park in Chester, Pa., the sides announced Thursday.

The original match was stopped in the sixth minute amid a coastal flood warning drenching the grass field. Per MLS rules regarding delays, postponements, cancellations and forfeits, the game will resume with a new officiating crew in the sixth minute April 30 with a Philly free kick. The score was 0-0.

The teams will also have to field the same gameday roster with the same players on the field at the time of the delay, unless unable due to transfer, injury or international call-up. Currently for the Sounders, that means Andrew Thomas will be in goal and field players Leo Chu and Obed Vargas would be replaced by two bench players. Chu is expected to be out 3-5 weeks with a knee injury while Vargas is under concussion protocol.
