Sounders Snap Losing Streak with Dominant 3-0 Win Over Querétaro in Leagues Cup
The Seattle Sounders finally found their footing, ending a franchise-record seven-game losing streak with a resounding 3-0 victory over Liga MX’s Querétaro in Leagues Cup play on Sunday. The win, which took place at Lumen Field, was a much-needed boost for a team that had been struggling across all competitions. Not only does it halt the slide, but it could prove critical in shifting momentum for the MLS season’s stretch run.
Sebastian Gomez was the star of the show, delivering a goal and an assist in his first-ever start for the Sounders. Danny Musovski also made history by becoming the first starting No. 9 to score this year, while Albert Rusnák ended a seven-match goal-less drought with a strike of his own. The trio’s contributions were pivotal in a performance that showcased the team’s potential when firing on all cylinders.
This victory is more than just a stat; it’s a turning point. The Sounders now look ahead to a crucial Leagues Cup clash against Chivas de Guadalajara on Wednesday. With the momentum from this win, they’ll aim to carry that confidence into the match and secure a spot in the next phase. The team’s resilience and determination were on full display, and fans will be hoping this marks the beginning of a resurgence.
As the Sounders prepare to host Chivas, the stakes are high. A win would not only solidify their progress but also send a message to the rest of the league. With key players finding their form and a renewed sense of belief, Seattle appears ready to turn their season around. The upcoming match promises to be an exciting test, and all eyes will be on Lumen Field to see if the Sounders can build on this much-needed victory.
