Nouhou Tolo - Provides winning assist Tolo assisted once to go with two crosses (two accurate) and three chances created in Wednesday's 3-2 victory against San Jose Earthquakes.

Impact Nouhou was the decisive creative contributor in Wednesday's 3-2 win over San Jose, delivering a first-touch entry pass from the left side just outside the area that found Osaze Tafari De Rosario at the top of the six-yard box for the match-winning header that secured the Heritage Cup for the second consecutive year, while adding three key passes, three tackles and four interceptions.

The Slovak playmaker operates as the creative hub in Seattle's midfield, linking midfield and attack through quick combinations and progressive passing, and was central to his side's second-half control that led to both Jesus Ferreira's goal and Osaze Tafari De Rosario's winner. Rusnak has scored three goals and provided three assists across 10 MLS appearances this season.

The American forward operates on the right wing in Seattle's setup, combining intelligent movement off the ball with the technical quality and pressing intensity to create dangerous moments even without service.

The goalkeeper regained his composure to make one save over the remainder of the match as the Sounders controlled possession and territory for long stretches, and he was only beaten again by Preston Judd's heavily deflected effort in the second half. Thomas has made 39 saves and conceded eight goals across 11 MLS appearances this season and will look to carry this momentum into the next match against LA Galaxy.

The central midfielder, who operates as a box-to-box presence in his side and has built a reputation for high-pressing intelligence and late runs into the area, earned the goal his early energy deserved in a match his team ultimately could not hold. Fernandez has recorded one goal and one assist across 9 MLS appearances this season as one of the most consistent midfielders in his side's title-pushing squad.
