A 3-0 victory on Sunday evening vaulted Seattle Sounders FC (2-0-1, 7 points) to the top of the MLS Western Conference, as a brace from Raúl Ruidíaz and another goal from Brad Smith secured all three points over the LA Galaxy (2-1-0, 6 points). With the win, Seattle remains unbeaten in 2021, and the Rave Green have not lost to the Galaxy in their last five MLS matches against the Southern California side.
Ruidíaz’s first goal and Smith’s strike came within three minutes of each other, cementing a 2-0 scoreline for the home side by the 23rd minute of play.
