ABOUT 9 HOURS AGO IN THE CenturyLink STADIUM, A MATCH BETWEEN SEATTLE SOUNDERS AND CHELSEA FC BEGAN IN THE SEATTLE-LOCATED STADIUM. THE STADIUM WITH THE TOTAL CAPACITY OF 72,000 PERSONS HELD AN AMAZING MATCH WITH SOME NEW STARS OF BOTH CLUBS.

SEATTLE - What an amazing match that was. 2 big clubs with their each own titles, held a friendly match in the CenturyLink -- used to be called Qwest till 2011 -- Stadium. Both of them, especially Chelsea played their youngsters and new star players, whom had been bought from another country's club.

The match ran so quickly until Romelu Lukaku finished a shot after receiving an assist from his teammate, Ivanovic in the minute of 3. Fortunately his position was not in an offside position. Almost. He was only marked by Jeff Parke (although he slipped and fell) and a goalkeeper in the penalty area until 2 men rushed into it and did nothing but watched the ball flew into the goal. It's in.

Chelsea's new squad member signed from French Ligue 1's club Lille Eden hazard doubled Chelsea's position became 2-0 after scored his first goal in his debut for Chelsea. An amazing solo-run he's done to score his first goal for Chelsea from the left side of the field. Then rushed into the penalty area, tricked one back, then fired a shot which passed at least two backs. Once more, the ball's in the net.

The replies for Chelsea's goals came from Seattle Sounders' Colombian player Fredy Montero, taking the advantage of the passing error made by Josh McEachran. And then ran a little bit closer to the goal and shoot, it's in. Then, 2 efforts were countered by a good performance of Ross Hilario. The last goal for Seattle came again in the minute of 32 after getting an assist from his teammate, then fired a low-ball and passed the keeper. Goal.

Actually there was another Seattle's player scored beside Fredy Montero. It's because Jeff Parke, scored an own goal after being hit by the ball kicked by Marko Marin. An unfortunate for both, Parke scored a goal for Chelsea and Marin, the new Chelsea player from German Bundesliga's club VfL Wolfsburg, did not get his first goal for Chelsea. But anyway, I really appreciate his effort and determination in the match. (Another version said the goal was by Marko Marin, NOT O.G., how controversial!)

In the 44th minute, the scoreline became 2-4 after Lukaku scored the last goal of the match. In the 2nd Half there were no goals scored anymore, only 2 opportunities for Seattle Sounders to score and blocked, first by Johnson in the 53rd minute and then 2 final chances. The funny thing is, in the final chance to score, Seattle player's shot was blocked by his own teammate's leg (I laughed loudly at that time the ball reflected), and then the rebound shot was blocked by Michael Essien. Great job, Essien.

What a match!
