Seattle’s 2-0 win over Real Salt Lake Friday night also catapulted them to the top of the standings over their defeated opponents and made a Galaxy win at 1 p.m. on Unimas against lowly D.C. United imperative. The Galaxy have the confidence-boosting opportunity to cut in half the Sounders’ six-point lead in with just seven games left.
Incidentally, granted it’s only a matter of time, but anything less than a Chivas USA win over Portland today at StubHub Center and the Goats’ season is toast.
