Sebastian Gomez scored his first goal just four minutes into his first career start for the Seattle Sounders and added an assist on Albert Rusnák's late goal in a 3-0 win over Querétaro in Leagues Cup on Sunday afternoon. The Sounders are the defending Leagues Cup champions, beating Lionel Messi and Inter Miami 3-0 in the final at Lumen Field last year. The Sounders lost their 2026 Leagues Cup opener 3-0 to Toluca FC on Wednesday night in a match that was even more lopsided than the final result. Seattle will face Chivas de Guadalajara at Lumen Field on Wednesday night at 7:30 p.m. in the final match of group play for Leagues Cup.
