With Seattle needing just one goal to put the tie beyond reach, <strong>Danny Musovski<\/strong> stepped up and delivered. He met the ball in the air and guided it home, leveling the match at 1-1 and effectively shutting the door on any realistic Vancouver comeback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That could have been enough, but Seattle didn\u2019t stop there. Just four minutes later, <strong>Paul Rothrock made sure of it<\/strong>. He connected with a clean right-footed finish after a well-placed cross from Peter Kingston, giving the <strong>Sounders a 2-1 win on the night and a comfortable 5-1 aggregate result<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Rothrock finds the net once more in the series! \ud83e\udee1 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/RrOibndrHv\">pic.twitter.com\/RrOibndrHv<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Concacaf Champions Cup (@TheChampions) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheChampions\/status\/2034492762632966634?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 19, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"it-couldve-been-a-trap-game\">\u201cIt Could\u2019ve Been a Trap Game\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rothrock said<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>It was kind of a weird game, it could\u2019ve been a trap game.
