Squanders opportunities in defeat Velde had three shots (one on goal), 11 crosses (zero accurate) and six corners in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Seattle Sounders FC.

Impact Velde led the Portland attacking effort Saturday in crosses (11 attempts, zero accurate), corners (six) and shots (three, one on goal) but could not unlock the Seattle defense in a narrow 1-0 road defeat. Despite the midfielder being given the tactical freedom to catalyze Portland's goal-scoring effort, he created zero chances across his 90 miniutes of play. Since moving to MLS from Olympiacos, Velde has assisted twice across seven starting appearances.
