Seattle Sounders FC dominated Querétaro FC 3–0 in a Leagues Cup group-stage encounter, controlling possession with 60 per cent and converting their chances with clinical efficiency. The hosts registered eight shots with five on target, while Querétaro managed ten attempts but only four found the target, hampered by a goalkeeper save percentage of just 40 per cent. Albert Rušnak opened the scoring for Seattle, who benefited from a commanding 4–2–3–1 setup that suffocated the visitors' attacking play. Seattle's goalkeeper was immaculate, saving all four shots on target he faced to secure a clean sheet. The gulf in execution proved decisive: despite Querétaro's shot volume, their inability to trouble Seattle's defence or convert opportunities left them with nothing from a group-stage fixture they needed. The Sounders' defensive solidity and clinical finishing suggest they are genuine contenders in this competition.
