What is the best way to avenge a loss at home against a bitter rival? Why, beat them at their home park of course! That seems to have been the mindset of Seattle Sounders FC 2 on Saturday afternoon at McLeod Park in Vancouver, B.C. Despite a very tight close match against the Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2 which saw both sides trading shots and attacking opportunities, Seattle would pull ahead and earn the 2-0 win.
Midfielders Ray Saari (31′) and Zach Mathers (60′) would provide the goals for Seattle. The win also pushed them into a tie in fifth place on points (7-7-2, 23 points) in the USL Western Conference with the Colorado Springs Switchbacks. The loss meanwhile for the Whitecaps drops them into twelfth (4-8-3, 15 points) and extends their winless streak to four.
