SEATTLE - In a tradition that dates back to 2018, thousands of fans at Lumen Field gave another standing ovation to Peruvian striker Raúl Ruidíaz as he made history under a beautiful and sunny day in the city of Seattle. With a penalty goal in the 11th minute of the game, Ruidíaz scored his 79th goal for the Rave Green and tied Freddy Montero's all-time scoring record for the club.
Less than six years since his arrival to Major League Soccer, the Peruvian has established himself as one of the league's best and most prolific players. He tied Montero's record in just 147 games played for the club in all competitions, with 74 of his goals coming in MLS play.
