Vancouver goalkeeper Maxime Crepeau made two saves for his sixth shutout of the year. Seattle (8-2-5) saw its six-game unbeaten streak come to an end and failed to score for the first time since May 12. The Sounders had several chances to equalize in the second half, but Crepeau and the Whitecaps defense held strong. Vancouver’s win moved them into seventh place in the Western Conference, just one point behind the playoff line, while Seattle remains in second place behind Sporting Kansas City.
The Whitecaps secured a 1-0 victory over the Seattle Sounders in their latest MLS encounter, marking their second home victory over their rivals. Yohei Takaoka earned a clean sheet for the Whitecaps making one save, while Frei made four saves for the Sounders.
Vancouver had a significant advantage in shots and shots on goal. The win over Seattle followed their 2-1 victory over them in September 2020 and it marks the first time that Vancouver has beaten the Sounders and the Portland Timbers at home in the same season.
