The Seattle Sounders fell 3-1 to Club Necaxa in their Leagues Cup group stage finale, but it was still good enough to advance to the knockout phase. Obed Vargas opened the scoring and Pedro de la Vega appeared to give the Sounders a second goal, only for it to be ruled out by VAR. Necaxa then scored three unanswered goals.
