Columbus (2-0-1) at Seattle (2-2-2), 10:30 p.m.

Seattle, WA (Sports Network) - The Columbus Crew travel to take on Seattle Sounders FC at Qwest Field in Major League Soccer action on Saturday night.

The Crew (2-0-1) are one of just two unbeaten teams through one month of the season, although they have only played three league games. The team is coming off a 1-0 win at defending MLS Cup champions Real Salt lake last weekend thanks to a Guillermo Barros Schelotto penalty-kick goal. The Crew earned the full points despite managing just one shot on goal in the game.

"I'll take it, its three points,' Crew coach Robert Warzycha said. "I'd rather win a scrappy game and know we'll get better. We had one shot on goal and actually scored and I'm happy about it."

Goalkeeper Will Hesmer also had a strong game for the Crew, with a number of key saves to give his team a chance to beat the champs.

"I thought we could have done a little better job of possessing the ball," Hesmer said. "But at the end of the game you know they're going to throw everything they have at you and you're going to have to withstand pressure and fight and battle hard and win some challenges in the box and we did that for the most part."

Seattle (2-2-2), on the other hand, will be trying to rebound from a two-game road trip last week that say them come away with just one point.

After suffering a late setback to settle for a share of the points on April 22 at Dallas, the Sounders fell at Toronto three days later to conclude the trip.

"I thought we were doing alright and were pretty comfortable, then we made a big mistake in the back and that was a big shot of adrenaline for Toronto," Sounders FC coach Sigi Schmid told his club's website of the Toronto loss. "Then we made another mistake and then after that Toronto dominated the game the last 20 minutes."

Seattle felt like it was in the game, which it lost 2-0, but two critical mistakes led to two goals by Toronto, which was obviously the difference.

"You can make mistakes and thats part of the game, but with the two big mistakes we made, you will never win the game. It doesn't matter how good you play," Seattle attacker Freddie Ljungberg told his team's website. "It's extremely disappointing that we're not winning when we play so well. Next time we won't make those mistakes and we'll win the game."

Seattle will be without attackers Nate Jaqua, Pat Noonan and Michael Fucito because of injuries, while defender Taylor Graham is questionable.

Columbus will be without defender Shaun Francis, while veteran defenders Chad Marshall and Gino Padula are doubtful.
