Seattle picks up 2-1 victory and is fifth in the Western Conference standings, just a point behind Real Salt Lake.
VANCOUVER, B.C. – Located somewhere between Brad Evans’ celebration of his game-winning goal in front of the hardcore Whitecaps fan section and his red-card walk down a tunnel past them was the id of this Seattle-Vancouver match.
Sunday evening brought together a desperate Whitecaps team and a depleted Sounders one. What resulted was 90 ragged minutes of raw emotion interspersed with only the occasional goal-scoring opportunity.
Both Vancouver midfielder Pedro Morales and Evans scored and were later red-carded, Osvaldo Alonso netted a goal for the second straight game and Seattle scrapped its way to a 2-1 victory in front of 24,937 at BC Place.
