Jun 8, 2025; Vancouver, British Columbia, CAN; Vancouver Whitecaps FC midfielder Jeevan Badwal (59) scores a goal against Seattle Sounders goalkeeper Stefan Frei (24) during the first half at BC Place. Mandatory Credit: Simon Fearn-Imagn Images Teenager Jeevan Badwal scored his first MLS goal as the host Vancouver Whitecaps extended their unbeaten streak to a franchise-record 11 matches with a bizarre 3-0 victory against the Seattle Sounders on Sunday night.
Daniel Rios and Damir Kreilach also scored for the MLS-leading Whitecaps (10-1-5, 35 points), who are 6-0-5 during their run.
While the Whitecaps entered the Cascadia Cup showdown short-handed, with nine players away for international duty and several others, including Badwal, questionable after a gastrointestinal illness swept through the team after a trip to Mexico City for last weekend’s 5-0 loss to Cruz Azul in last weekend’s CONCACAF Champions Cup final, the Sounders (7-6-5, 26 points) finished Sunday’s match with nine players on the pitch.
Sounders defenders Nouhou Tolo and Johnathan Bell were issued red cards three minutes apart early in the second half by referee Ricardo Fierro for denying goal-scoring opportunities.
Nouhou practically tackled Mathias Laborda just outside the top right corner of the 18-yard box in the 52nd minute, with the Sounders offering no complaints. The same couldn’t be said for the second call, as Bell inadvertently clipped the heel of Emmanuel Sabbi about 20 yards from the net.
The Whitecaps opened the scoring in the 40th minute. Edier Ocampo sent a pass to Jean Claude Ngando on the left side of the penalty area. Ngando cut a pass back toward the middle of the pitch, where Badwal stunned the Sounders with a one-timer into the net. Badwal, 19, was making just his second career start.
Rios helped clinch the victory with a 20-yard strike into the upper left corner of the net in the 70th minute.
Kreilach, who came on for Badwal midway through the second half, scored from the penalty spot in the 88th minute after Sabbi was tripped by Seattle’s Joao Paulo.
The Sounders had a couple of quality scoring chances in the first half, with both of those attempts just missing wide of the right post. The first came on a volley by Alex Roldan in the second minute from just outside the top of the 6-yard box. The second came on a 15-yard shot by Pedro de la Vega from the left side of the penalty area in the 31st minute.

Former world champion calls for Cristiano to join MLS: “He will bring the culture of soccer, which they don’t have yet”
A new transfer window is beginning and one of the big questions is where Cristiano Ronaldo will play next season. The Portuguese star finished his contract with Al-Nassr F.C. and is now looking for a new direction in his career. Despite being 40 years old, the goalscorer feels more alive than ever and will continue to look for new challenges to expand his numbers and, why not, reach the 2026 World Cup with Portugal.While CR7's future is uncertain, the striker continues to shine and win titles, as he recently was crowned UEFA Nations League champion with Portugal after beating Spain in the final on penalties after a 2-2 draw, where Cristiano scored a goal and also had to leave injured.Nicola Jokic new video in Serbia shows he "switched" sportsA few days ago, Cristiano Ronaldo confessed that he has had offers […]
Vasco anuncia rescisão contratual com Payet
A hora do adeus entre o meia Dmitri Payet e a torcida do Vasco chegou. O clube anunciou, nesta segunda-feira, a rescisão contratual com o jogador. As conversas vinham em andamento nos últimos dias e chegaram a um denominador comum. Payet tinha contrato com o Vasco até o dia 31 de julho. Reserva em 2025, o jogador não entra em campo desde abril, quando sofreu lesão ligamentar no joelho em derrota para o Ceará, na quarta rodada do Brasileirão. Recebido por cinco mil vascaínos em 2023, Payet foi uma das principais contratações do clube na luta contra o rebaixamento daquela temporada. O jogador marcou gols importantes, como o tento de falta decisivo na vitória por 2 a 1 sobre o América-MG, já na reta final do campeonato. No ano seguinte, Payet passou a dividir posição com Philippe Coutinho e perdeu […]
