Ruidíaz has already tied the Sounders’ record for regular-season goals in a season and all-competition goals (19) in a season. If Ruidíaz were to win the Golden Boot, he’d be the first Sounder to pull off the feat.
Raúl Ruidíaz currently trails the Golden Boot race by one goal, but will need to pass Valentin Castellanos who will surely have the assists tiebreaker (8-1). The Sounders won that game 4-1, which also happened to be the last time Seattle claimed all three points. One of those two recent losses, it should be said, was to the Sounders in their last meeting. Still, they could miss the playoffs with a loss combined with other results. They’ve only lost two games since July 7 and are a remarkable 8-2-4 over their past 14. The Whitecaps should pose quite the challenge. Just for good measure, the Cascadia Cup is also technically still up for grabs, although it would require the Whitecaps to win by four goals in order to claim it. A win would guarantee that the Sounders win the Western Conference for just the second time in franchise history, while anything less would leave them in danger of dropping all the way to third. 
They’ve already claimed the third-most points in franchise history and can post their best-ever goal-difference, depending on how things go in the regular-season finale against the Vancouver Whitecaps on Sunday.ĭespite all that success, though, a lot rides on this game. Clinical from the spot gives us an early lead! #SoundersMatchday | #VANvSEA /aEaycMRxQ6- Seattle Sounders FC November 7, 2021īy almost any metric, this has been a highly successful season for the Seattle Sounders.
