From the very first moment, the match looked like it would end in a stalemate, and that is what has happened. On to penalties we go, so stay tuned!

Despite their numerical disadvantage, Seattle Sounders are pushing hard for the winner as the fourth official indicates a minimum of five minutes to be added on before we go to penalties.

Sounders win a free-kick from 25 yards out. Ferreira has a crack at goal, but it goes over the bar. We are inching closer and closer to penalty kicks. Considering they are one man down, Sounders wouldn't mind that too much.

Twist in the tale?! Danny Musovski has a tug at Diaz, connecting with his face. The referee walks up to show him a yellow card, but the USMNT player barges into the ref's chest, and the official has no chance but to show him a straight red.

Tragedy for Sounders, and a lifeline for Puebla!

The game is getting scrappy by the minute, which will be good news for Puebla. Sounders win a free-kick right on the left edge of the box. Ferriera floats in a ball into the box which is not cleared properly, and Roldan has a shot from distance that dipped a bit too late.

Sounders make a substitution, taking off Pedro de la Vega. On comes Georgi Minoungou.

Two good but routine saves from Gonzalez. Puebla are giving Seattle absolutely no space, despite having around 15% of the ball. The Rave Greens are forced to snap shots, including one from Ragen, but nothing too troublesome for the Mexican team.

More of the same from the first half, really, with Sounders controlling most of the ball and Puebla employing every tactics in the book to break up the tempo of the match and looking to hit on the counter.

It was one-way traffic in terms of pressure, but crucially, it’s still goalless at Lumen Field. A big second half awaits. We are underway!

That's the end of the first half, and Puebla have successfully held on for a goalless result. It has been all Sounders as far as match stats are concerned, but in the only thing that matters - shots on target - Puebla lead one to zero. Not goals, but you can expect that to change in the second 45 minutes.

The fourth official indicates a minimum of three minutes to be added on at the end of the first half. Intense, relentless pressure from Sounders, but Puebla are doing just enough to take care of the final ball. Frustration is creeping into the play of the home side.

Sounders are increasing the pressure on Puebla's defence, with Vargas having a couple of cracks at goal. The first one went wide, and the second was blocked by the defenders. Gonzalez, for most of the match, has been unbothered, and the MLS side have nothing to show for despite all their dominance in the fixture.

Despite the sustained pressure from Sounders, Puebal look dangerous every time they counter. Monarrez has a shot from distance, which is the first one on target for the Liga MX side. However, Thomas is not troubled too much. Sounders immediately push forward on the other end.

After weathering the early pressure from Puebla, Seattle Sounders are very much on the front foot. Rothrock is looking like a menace up top, forcing a very good save from Gonzalez. Meanwhile, the corner count racks up, and the pressure increases on the Mexican side.

Ever since Emiliano Gomez's shot - although it went wide - Puebla's are pressing high and causing the Sounders backline a bit of trouble now and then. The home side, however, continue to control the ball. The match looks lively now.

A controlled start from Seattle Sounders in the opening five minutes, controlling 80% of the ball and moving confidently in Puebla's half. The MLS side are looking to create space between the Puebal defenders, but for now, the Mexican side are holding tough.

After the national anthems, both players take their position on the Lumen Field pitch, and the home side get us underway in today's quarter-final fixture. Stay tuned!
