Seattle Sounders 2 : 3 Vancouver Whitecaps
Whitecaps Take Cascadia Cup Home after 3 Goal Blitz
Four Goals in Fourteen Minutes in Second Half Decide "Friendly Derby"
The last Vancouver/Seattle derby for the foreseeable future ended with a 3-2 win for the Vancouver. The visiting Whitecaps had nothing to play for in the USL after Puerto Rico clinched first place last night but there was no doubting their desire to finish this rivalry with a victory on a memorable night in Tukwila.
Goals from Nick Addlery, Justin Moose and Jeff Clarke all within a 14 minute period in the second half gave a lively Vancouver Whitecaps side a deserved victory in this final Cascadia Derby. Sounders had earlier taken the lead through Seb le Toux in the first half and a beautifully worked Kevin Sakuda goal brought them back to 3-2 in the second. But it was to be Vancouver's night. Now everyone must wait for the conclusion to the USL regular season to learn their dates if not their fates. What we can say is that Seattle Sounders will play Montreal with the Impact having choice of home or away first, and Vancouver will play Minnesota Thunder whose surprise 3-1 win over Montreal earlier in the evening secured their play-off place. Dates are yet to be confirmed.
The night started promisingly for a Seattle side missing Taylor Graham who pulled a hamstring in training on Thursday.
