UPDATE: The highly anticipated Leagues Cup clash between the Seattle Sounders and Santos Laguna kicks off tonight at 10:30 p.m. ET at Lumen Field in Seattle. This matchup promises to deliver electric soccer action as both teams vie for supremacy in this knockout tournament.
The Seattle Sounders come into the match riding a wave of momentum after a stunning 7-0 victory over Cruz Azul on Thursday. Goals from Yeimar Gomez Andrade, Obed Vargas, Jesus Ferreira, Osaze De Rosario, Nouhou Tolo, and a brace from Pedro de la Vega showcased their offensive firepower.
