Despite having forty minutes to play it was clear that Vancouver was done for the night. Manneh and Tiebert came on but did little solve their issues with possessing in the Sounders half. Seattle took the opportunity to give some of their more fragile players rest as Friberg and Valdez made way for Azira and Kovar. -

The Seattle Sounders welcomed the Vancouver Whitecaps to CentruyLink Field for their second match in four days. Their last meetup ended with Seattle welcoming the Cascadia Cup back to the Emerald City for the first time since 2011. But with Group F in the CONCACAF Champions League on the line a short memory was needed for both sides. -
The game really came own to lineups. Sigh Schmid opted to start a largely first team side with Barrett and Roldan being the lone two deviations from the norm. Vancouver was quite the opposite with Kah and Laba being the sole regulars and Tornaghi starting in goal. The cards were against Vancouver from the beginning. -
There were only two shots on target in the entire second half and the game came to a quiet close. Vancouver never seriously threatened and Seattle was content with their second 3-0 scoreline in four days. Vancouver simply didn't put out a strong enough lineup and Robinson was punished for it. Sometimes it's that simple. -
