The Sounders returned to Vancouver where they were brutalized earlier in the season, and they were up against it again throughout the first half. Seattle having more possession was pointless, as the Whitecaps scored early on a set piece and created the bigger chances before the break. Somewhat surprisingly, even without substitutions, the Sounders found second half energy that they lacked in previous games, tying the match twice and then claiming all three points in stoppage time. This determination, resilience, and team character haven’t been in evidence so far this year, and it bodes well for the second half of the season.
