It was a good weekend for local clubs not called Sounders.

Seattle's life in the USL First Division came to a close after a wild 3-1 loss knocked the Sounders out 4-3 on total goals over the two-match playoff series with Montreal. A fan posted the photo below on the internet. It shows the referee's 'encroachment' call on a made Seattle penalty kick was in error. (Seattle is in blue). The goal was called back and Seattle eventually lost the series by that margin.

Steve McClare has more on the Sounders at ProstAmerika.
