Whitecaps deal Sounders club-record seventh straight MLS defeat with 2-0 victory
On Sunday night, the Vancouver Whitecaps secured their club-record seventh consecutive Major League Soccer loss by defeating the Seattle Sounders 2-0. Rayan Elloumi and Thomas Müller each scored second-half goals, while goalkeeper Yohei Takaoka remained untested. This victory moves the Whitecaps to the top of the Western Conference, two points ahead of the Houston Dynamo.
Elloumi's first goal came in the 77th minute, assisted by Emmanuuel Sabbi. Thomas Müller added his sixth goal of the season, scored five minutes later after Ryan Gauld's assist. Gauld made his fourth appearance of the season and collected his first assist. Seattle's goalkeeper Andrew Thomas saved one shot in the 52nd minute, his only intervention in the match.
The Sounders (7-8-3) have not won since beating the San Jose Earthquakes 3-2 on May 13. Vancouver has posted a 2-0-3 record in its last five trips to Seattle. The Whitecaps will host the Houston Dynamo on Wednesday.
