It was definitely not the result the Seattle Sounders were seeking, but the 1-1 tie with the Vancouver Whitecaps was enough to claim the Cascadia Cup, secure the No. 2 spot in the Western Conference standings and qualify the Sounders for the 2022 Concacaf Champions League. In a theme we’ve grown accustomed to over this season-ending six-game winless run, the Sounders also had a golden chance to claim a result-changing goal in stoppage time only to fall short.
