VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA - A playoff-like atmosphere with major postseason implications produced an intense contest on Saturday night, as Seattle Sounders FC (13-9-5, 44 points) bested Vancouver Whitecaps FC (11-10-7, 40 points) by a final score of 2-1 at BC Place. The result gives Seattle its first Cascadia Cup since 2015, bringing home the regional trophy that formally began in 2004 by the biggest supporters groups of each of the three Pacific Northwest sides - Seattle's Emerald City Supporters, Portland's Timbers Army and Vancouver's Southsiders. Though the Timbers and Whitecaps still have a match to play, tonight's three points for Seattle put the cup out of reach and back into the Rave Green's trophy cabinet.
