Seattle gets a late winner and significantly improves their playoff run. Unfortunately, this week did not produce the favorable results for the rest of the West that we have gotten used to seeing.
FC Dallas drew NYCFC 2-2 in New York and clinched the first playoff spot in MLS with former Sounder Mauro Rosales assisting both goals.
Of the teams Seattle is battling for the final two playoff spots, both SKC and SJ drew, Vancouver lost, and Portland won. The PDX win over the Philly Union was one of the two home games they had remaining and was a match they were expected to pick up points from.
