Record crowd expected for Sounders-Timbers clash


TUKWILA, Wash. — Big crowds have become a part of normal life for the Seattle Sounders. But this coming weekend's legion of home fans will be something else entirely.

More than 66,000 tickets have already been distributed for Sunday’s game against the rival Portland Timbers for the Cascadia Cup title (9 pm ET, ESPN, live chat on MLSsoccer.com). That’s already a team record for an MLS game and it will almost certainly go down in history as the second-highest-attended non-doubleheader in league history.

“These are once-in-a-lifetime,” Sounders midfielder Brad Evans told MLSsoccer.com. “When you look back on the seasons, you remember results, not necessarily crowds, but these are ones that stick out and you say, ‘I played in front of a sold-out CenturyLink Field.’”

Recap:
Sounders beat back Timbers 3-0 in front of 66,452[/SIZE]



SEATTLE – The road to the Cascadia Cup still goes through Seattle.

The Portland Timbers needed only a draw to win the regional derby on Sunday, but with a goal apiece from Eddie Johnson and Fredy Montero, and a Portland own-goal, the Seattle Sounders beat their archrivals, 3-0 in front of 66,452 at CenturyLink Field – the second-largest crowd for a regular-season game in MLS history.

The Timbers can still capture the Cascadia Cup, but will have to win in Vancouver on Oct. 21 to do it.

The Sounders, meanwhile, leapfrogged the LA Galaxy into third place in the Western Conference, three points behind Real Salt Lake but with a game in hand and a two-goal lead in the first tiebreaker.
