Yesterday was the US Open Cup final between the Seattle Sounders FC and DC United. The US Open Cup is an open tournament in which all US Soccer Federation associated teams are able to compete. This includes adult amateur teams up to MLS clubs. The opportunity for such mixed competitions always leads to some exciting soccer matches.

After playing through qualification rounds and winning 4 in tournament games, the Sounders cinched their first US Open Cup title with a score of 2 to 1 over United. The Sounders became only the second MLS expansion team to ever win the title in doing so.
