SEATTLE — New Designated Player Raul Ruidiaz may have drawn a lot of the media attention ahead of the Seattle Sounders’ 2-0 win over the Vancouver Whitecaps, but it was midfielder Nicolas Lodeiro who provided the goals. Lodeiro’s 90-minute performance served as a reminder, one of many the Uruguayan has served up in 2018, that he is what makes the Sounders tick as they scored their most convincing home victory of the season.
Lodeiro found plenty to be upbeat about after the game.
“I think the team feels happy because we won,” Lodeiro said.
