The playoffs. A time for intense drama and where anything can happen. Going into Tuesday night’s playoff matchup between Real Salt Lake and the Seattle Sounders, the home team was a perfect 5-0 (including Sporting Kansas City’s win over the Vancouver Whitecaps). After 120 minutes of soccer and a margin of 21 shots to zero in favor of Seattle, that game went to penalty kicks and in the sixth round, RSL won it.
It wasn’t without drama. In the second round, Stephan Frei stepped off his line to negate a PK he stopped, which would be made on the second attempt.
