Chivas de Guadalajara defeats Seattle Sounders 2-1 in Leagues Cup finale

Chivas de Guadalajara defeated the Seattle Sounders 2-1 at Lumen Field to conclude their Leagues Cup campaign. Despite both teams having already been eliminated from the tournament, the match featured a competitive second half.

The Sounders took an early lead in the 13th minute when Gallatin Sandnes scored following a corner kick. Seattle utilized a heavily rotated lineup, including several players from their MLS NEXT Pro side, Tacoma Defiance, to manage player fatigue.

Guadalajara mounted a comeback in the second half. Luis Rey equalized in the 60th minute with a low shot, and Santiago Sandoval secured the victory in the 71st minute with a header following a cross from Luis Romo.
