Joveljic scores twice; Sounders draw Fire

Seattle Sounders forward Dejan Joveljic scored twice on his MLS debut, lifting Seattle to a 2-2 draw with the Chicago Fire. Chicago answered with goals from Maren Haile-Selassie and Robert Lewandowski, who equalized late in the match. Joveljic arrived from Sporting Kansas City in a $6 million cash-for-player deal and became the fifth Sounders player to score twice in a debut. The game featured multiple assists from across both teams, and strong performances from goalkeepers Chris Brady and Andrew Thomas. Seattle extended its historic edge at home against Chicago, remaining unbeaten in the series at Lumen Field. The performance capped a high-profile signing period for the Sounders as they look to rebound from a rough stretch.
