Sounders hope to follow Portland triumph with home win against Vancouver

SEATTLE — There's something about the Sounders and Cascadia Cup play.

The Sounders, while dealing with several injuries, started the season slow. Now, they're turning things around, highlighted by a rousing 2-1 result at arch rival Portland on Sunday.

While a road trip to Real Salt Lake on Wednesday didn't go quite as well in a 2-0 defeat, it's painfully obvious to even the casual observer that the Sounders are starting to turn a corner.

What better way to prove that and start to climb the table than a home match with one of the teams they're chasing: the Vancouver Whitecaps.

Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Lumen Field. A chance for a huge three points.

To break down the matchup, former Sounders star and brand ambassador Brad Evans stopped by KOMO Plaza for an inside look at what we should be watching as the Rave Green look to get back on track.
