COMMERCE CITY, Colo. — Here are the notable notes for the decisive second leg of the MLS Western Conference finals between the Sounders and Rapids on Sunday afternoon at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park:
- Ricardo Salazar is the referee, Ian Anderson and Corey Parker are his assistants and Fotis Bazakos is the fourth official.
- Seattle can ensure advancement with a win or tie. Because of the away-goals tiebreaker, the rest of the scenarios get slightly more complicated. Colorado would go through with a 1-0 win, a 2-1 Rapids lead would force extra time and any kind of high-scoring Sounders loss would work for the visitors.
