The Seattle Sounders entered their final match of the MLS is Back Tournament group stage needing three points against the Vancouver Whitecaps to advance to the knockout rounds.
With their backs against the wall, the Rave Green stepped up, collecting a convincing 3-0 win courtesy of goals from Nicolás Lodeiro, Jordan Morris and Raúl Ruidíaz.
Seattle came flying out of the gates against Vancouver, with Morris and Handwalla Bwana carving out several chances inside the first ten minutes. That pressure eventually paid off in the 12th minute as Morris earned a penalty kick, which Lodeiro calmly dispatched for his first goal of the season.
