The Seattle Sounders easily crushed Hollywood United 6-0 at Starfire Sports Complex on June 24th in US Open Cup action. Seattle now advances to host Major League Soccer side Chivas USA on July 1st at the same venue.
It was over as it was beginning, with the Sounders leading 1-0 after a couple minutes on a header by Zach Scott. By the time the damage was complete Josh Gardner had made it 2-0 and Sebastien Le Toux had run off the next four goals: 3-4-5-6.
All that was left was to wonder how in the world Portland could have lost to these guys, and ponder what might happen next Tuesday when Chivas USA comes to Starfire.
