Seattle Sounders vs Vancouver Whitecaps

Vancouver came to Lumen Field and completely dominated proceedings, earning a convincing 2-0 victory over Seattle on Saturday. The Whitecaps were relentless in their approach, forcing the Sounders into a largely defensive display. Thomas Müller was the standout performer, controlling the tempo and creating space throughout the match. His influence couldn't have been clearer—Vancouver registered eight corners and forced six shots on target, while Seattle managed just five total attempts and couldn't get a single one on frame. The second half told the story of a team that simply couldn't find answers. Having held on at 0-0 through the first forty-five minutes, the Sounders' resistance crumbled after the break as Vancouver's pressure finally told. This was a chastening defeat on home soil, a reminder that possession counts for little without clinical finishing and solid defending. For Vancouver, it's a statement win that keeps their season on track.
