SEATTLE – Víctor Rodríguez scored his first goal in Rave Green and Nicolás Lodeiro and Clint Dempsey added a goal apiece, pacing the Seattle Sounders to a 3-0 Cascadia Cup romp over the Vancouver Whitecaps at CenturyLink Field on Wednesday evening.
Rodríguez found the opener in the 17th minute after he managed to shift his way through a group of Vancouver defenders and sneak a left-footed shot past goalkeeper David Ousted to give the hosts the 1-0 lead they would take into halftime. Lodeiro would double the lead in the 62nd after he smashed home a finish off a feed from Joevin Jones, before assisting on Dempsey’s left-footed finish just seven minutes later to seal the blowout result.
