The Seattle Sounders welcomed the Vancouver Whitecaps for the first Cascadia derby of the 2016 season on Saturday night in front of 40,012 at CenturyLink Field. -

Whitecaps threatened once more near the end of the game, with Rivero nearly sealing the points. Seattle never seriously contended for a draw after Dempsey's shocking miss. The Vancouver away contingent left ecstatic, and Sigi Schmid was left to ponder his side's 0-3 start. -

In the 73rd minute, Perez got in behind the Sounder back line and earned a blatant penalty when Chad Marshall tried to slide tackle the ball away through the Panamanian's legs. Pedro Morales once again buried the penalty, putting the Whitecaps up 2-1. -

Sounders entered the second half with renewed energy. They pinned the Whitecaps deeper and deeper inside their defensive third, with Alonso and Roldan set deeper in midfield to keep Vancouver from breaking out. -

The first half ended without much fanfare. Vancouver defended comfortably while the Sounders struggled to generate chances in the run of play. -

Sounders generated their best chance at 2-2 in the 80th minute when Joevin Jones' cut back found Dempsey wide open in the center of the box. In an odd twist of fate, Dempsey missed just wide of the bottom right corner. One of the highest paid players in the league, Dempsey still hasn't found his form in MLS yet this year. -
