Mandatory Credit: Steven Bisig-Imagn Images Obed Vargas and Nouhou Tolo each had a goal and an assist as the Seattle Sounders defeated visiting St. Louis City 4-1 Saturday night in a Western Conference match.
Danny Musovski and Albert Rusnak also scored and substitute Ryan Kent had a pair of assists for the Sounders (4-3-4, 16 points), who extended their unbeaten streak to four matches (3-0-1).
Marcel Hartel tallied for St. Louis (2-5-4, 10 points), which is winless in its past seven matches (0-5-2).
Vargas broke a 1-1 tie in the 61st minute after a nifty give-and-go from Kent just outside the top left of the penalty area. Vargas’ shot from 12 yards out deflected off defender Timo Baumgartl and inside the near post.
Musovski helped clinch the victory by scoring in the 81st minute. He took a cross from Nouhou with his back to the net, spun, then blasted a shot off the leg of goalkeeper Ben Lundt and into the right side of the net. It was Musovski’s fourth straight match with a goal as he fills in for the injured Jordan Morris (hamstring).
Nouhou tallied in second-half stoppage time off a pass from Kent to send the crowd into a frenzy.
The teams traded penalty kicks four minutes apart just past the midway point of the first half.
St. Louis took the lead in the 29th minute after Sounders defender Yeimar Gomez Andrade was called for tripping as Cedric Teuchert dribbled along the end line. Hartel took the penalty and used a hop-step on his way to the ball, then rolled it into the right side of the net after seeing goalkeeper Stefan Frei dive the other way.
A couple of minutes later, Seattle’s Paul Rothrock took a pass on the left side of the penalty area on a counterattack and dribbled back toward the center of the pitch just inside the top of the 18-yard box. Rothrock tried to split three defenders and went down after a push to the back from Baumgartl. Referee Lorenzo Hernandez immediately pointed to the spot and Rusnak blasted a shot down the middle as Lundt went to his left.
The Sounders outshot St. Louis 31-7, with a 9-4 edge in attempts on frame.

Hannah Green wins her 2nd HSBC Women's World Championship
Aug 21, 2025; Mississauga, Ontario, CAN; Hannah Green plays her tee shot at the third hole during first round play at the CPKC Women’s Open golf tournament. Mandatory Credit: Dan Hamilton-Imagn Images Australia’s Hannah Green held off Auston Kim on Sunday to win the HSBC Women’s World Championship in Singapore for the second time.
Green, the 2024 champion, balanced three birdies and three bogeys on an eventful back nine to finish with a 3-under 69 and a final score of 14-under at Sentosa Golf Club. The 2019 Women’s PGA Championship winner tapped in for bogey at the 18th for her seventh LPGA Tour title.
“When I did win Singapore two years ago, I went on to win two other tournaments that season and pretty much had my best season on tour,” said Green, 29. “So having a win so early in the season gives me a bit more flexibility with the tournaments that I can play. So I’m hoping that this puts me in good stead for the rest of the year.”
Green was at 16-under after birdies at the first, 11th and 13th holes and an eagle at the par-5 eighth hole. Her birdie at the par-3 15th helped her survive a bogey-bogey finish.
“I knew that I had enough of a lead to be able to get away with making mistakes coming down the stretch. But I think 15 was the real turning point,” she said.
First- and second-round leader Kim nearly chased down her first title, matching the low round of the day with a 67 to finish one shot behind Green in the 72-hole, no-cut tournament.
Kim carded six birdies and an eagle at No. 8, but a bogey at the par-3 15th proved costly for the 25-year-old American.
“Overall, I think it was a really solid week,” Kim said. “A great way to start the year. I hit a lot of bad shots but I also hit a lot of good ones, and it was really confidence boosting. I hit all these bad shots, and I didn’t feel like I had anything chose to my A game, but I was still able it pull off a result like this and play some really solid golf.”
Australia’s Minjee Lee (72 on Sunday), Angel Yin (71) and France’s Pauline Roussin-Bouchard (68) tied for third place at 11-under with South Korea’s Haeran Ryu (72) another shot back in solo sixth.
World No. 1 Jeeno Thitikul of Thailand finished with a 73 and tied for 31st at 2-under, one shot behind defending champion Lydia Ko (72) of New Zealand.

Mandatory Credit: Sam Navarro-Imagn Images St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol received a two-year contract extension through the 2028 season, the team announced Sunday.
Financial terms were not disclosed by the team, which holds an option for the 2029 season.
“As I’ve gotten to know Oli, I’ve seen someone who cares about this organization and knows what has made the Cardinals special over time — and who understands that for us to get where we need to go, we must compete relentlessly to set new standards in everything that we do,” president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom said.
“He is invested in the progress of our young core and is unafraid to challenge himself and to help those around him grow. I am energized to continue working with him towards the on-field success that we expect and that our fans deserve.”
Marmol, 39, has guided the Cardinals to a 325-323 record during his four seasons as the skipper. He led St. Louis to the National League Central title in 2022 before the team fell in the wild-card series to the Philadelphia Phillies.
Last season, the Cardinals posted a 78-84 record to finish in fourth place in the NL Central.
Marmol was a coach with St. Louis from 2017-21 under previous managers Mike Shildt and Mike Matheny.
