The Seattle Sounders didn’t need a win on Sunday to keep their once-astronomical playoff hopes alive. They got one anyway, and in the process they got one of the strangest Cascadia Cup results in recent history.
For the first time in four weeks, the captain came on. And then the captain scored the game-winner. And then the captain left with a red card at his back.
It was one of those sorts of games for the Sounders, who secured a massive three points in Vancouver in a 2-1 win decided on a Brad Evans penalty kick with less than 10 minutes to go.
