We know who the Seattle Sounders are taking on in the Knockout Round of the MLS Playoffs. We also know who will be the man in charge of the game: Ismail Elfath. He will be joined by Peter Manikowski (AR1), Corey Parker (AR2) and Ricardo Salazar (4th).
This will be Elfath’s third game refereeing a match involving the Sounders this season. The first came on April 10 when the Sounders took on the Dynamo in Houston. Elfath only called a total of 12 fouls in the Sounders 1-1 draw that afternoon. He also handed out two yellow cards, one to Jalil Anibaba of Houston and one to Joevin Jones.
