Minoungou scores 1st MLS goal, Rusnák adds goal, assist as Sounders beat Whitecaps 3-0
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Georgi Minoungou scored his first MLS goal, Albert Rusnák added a goal and an assists and the Seattle Sounders beat the Vancouver Whitecaps 3-0 Wednesday night.
The 22-year-old Minoungou opened the scoring in the 14th minute. Rusnák played a corner kick that was headed by Jordan Morris at the near post and tapped into the net by Minoungou at the back post to give Seattle (15-9-8) a 1-0 lead.
The Sounders have five wins and just one loss in seven games since returning from the Leagues Cup break and has outscored its opponents 15-5 during that span.
Rusnák converted from the penalty spot in the 65th minute and then, on the counter-attack, set up Paul Rothrock for a finish from the left side of the area that gave Seattle a 3-0 lead in the 67th.
Vancouver (13-10-8) is winless in each of its last four games.
Stefan Frei had three saves for the Sounders.
Vancouver’s Fafà Picault, who was shown a yellow card in the 46th minute, was shown a red card in the 88th.

Thanks to Stewart L. for the photos of a drone show over the downtown waterfront tonight, as seen from Harbor Avenue. With Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle, the show commemorated the 10th anniversary of the finale of the two-season Disney-produced animated series “Gravity Falls,” and the launch of a new “visual history” of the series, a book titled “The Art of Gravity Falls.”
(It was meant to be seen from the Overlook Walk on the waterfront, so the images visible from here were reversed.)
The Seattle Sounders traveled to St. Louis on Saturday and came away 1-0 winners in a gritty performance. Soon after halftime, first half substitute Kalani Kossa-Rienzi scored the lone goal following a good counterpress from Jesús Ferreira, with calmness and composure from the goalscorer to pick his spot. The Sounders came under pressure from the hosts, but their defense was resolute throughout, turning aside repeated attacks in exactly the kind of performance you need to win on the road in MLS.
Here is a direct link to the form; we hope this allows everyone to submit a response.
Here’s the scale:
(Substitutes can be left blank if the player did not play enough to judge)
1 – Not a pro quality performance
4 – Average USL Championship starter
6 – Average MLS starter
9 – MLS All Star
10 – MLS MVP-quality performance
