Sounders 4, Real Salt Lake 1

Seba Le Toux scored two goals and assisted on the others as the Sounders won a U.S. Open Cup play-in game at Starfire Sports Complex in Tukwila (match report). A sell-out crowd of about 4,000 diehards watched a lineup of bench players advance the Sounders to the second play-in game next month vs. Colorado, location TBA. Next game Saturday @ Chicago Fire, 5:30 p.m.
