This win marks a significant turning point for the Loons, who had a long-standing losing streak against the Sounders in Seattle, going winless in their previous 10 attempts since joining MLS in 2017.

Despite being with MNUFC for just over a season, head coach Eric Ramsay fully grasped the importance of their victory over a fellow Western Conference contender.

“I didn’t talk about it too much before the game amongst the staff, I didn’t talk about it in front of the players, but obviously it speaks to how difficult it is to come here and get a point, let alone three points – all the teams across the league would say that,” Ramsay said.

“It was a really important win and I’m pleased for everyone connected with the club because I know it’s something that people have wanted off the back as soon as possible.”

Canadian international striker Tani Oluwaseyi is in top form, having scored two goals in the second half, bringing his total to a team-leading eight goals. This matches his impressive goal count from last year’s standout season.

Oluwaseyi’s knack for scoring has even led to Designated Player Kelvin Yeboah moving to the bench. The 25-year-old Oluwaseyi has evolved into a more complete player, while still maintaining his ability to seize excellent scoring opportunities.

“We’re a team that when we defend in a certain way in order to get up the pitch, we need whoever plays the No. 9 to show real strength, but also real quality when the ball comes into them, and Tani is improving week on week in that sense,” Ramsay said.

“When you add that to the athlete that he is, the goal-scorer that he is, the defensive forward that he is, he’s becoming far more complete, and I’m pleased that he’s getting plaudits for both sides of his game.”
