Overview
- Vancouver Whitecaps beat the Seattle Sounders 2-0 with late goals from Rayan Elloumi and Thomas Müller in a match reported on Monday.
- Elloumi opened the scoring in the 77th minute and Müller finished an indirect free-kick inside the penalty area in the 82nd minute after a short pass from Oliver Larraz.
- The result snapped Vancouver’s seven-game winless streak and moved the Whitecaps to 37 points from 18 MLS matches, returning them to the top of the Western Conference.
- Müller’s goal was his sixth of the MLS season in his 15th appearance and he was named Man of the Match, while reports say the win clinched the Cascadia Cup for Vancouver.
- The loss extended Seattle’s poor run of form, reported as six or seven consecutive defeats, and leaves Vancouver better positioned for playoff seeding as the regular season continues.
