SEATTLE — The Seattle Sounders made a triumphant return from the international break, shaking the Vancouver Whitecaps down for a 4-0 win on Tuesday. Seattle jumped out to an early lead, with Nico Lodeiro slotting home a penalty in the 5th minute after Fredy Montero was brought down in the box by Vancouver goalkeeper Cody Cropper, and the game was never really within reach for the Whitecaps after that.
Raúl Ruidíaz spread a brace across both halves scoring in the 28th and 54th minutes, and nearly making it a hat trick in the 62nd minute before subbing off.
