REPLAY OF VARGAS' GOAL 21. FINAL WHISTLE 22. SOUNDERS' MANAGER BRIAN SCHMETZER SHAKING HANDS WITH MINNESOTA MANAGER ERIC RAMSAY STORY: Obed Vargas notched a brace Monday (November 3) night and the Seattle Sounders stayed alive in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with a 4-2 win over visiting Minnesota United. The result tied the best-of-3 series at 1-1 with the deciding match scheduled for Saturday in Saint Paul, Minn. The series winner advances to the conference semifinals on Nov. 22 or Nov. 23 against either the Portland Timbers or top-seeded San Diego FC, who settle their series on Sunday night in Southern California. Fourth-seeded Minnesota, down 3-2 at halftime, were the better team for most of the second half but couldn't find an equalizing goal. Vargas finally sealed the outcome in the 86th minute by collecting Paul Rothrock's pass and firing home from long range. Daniel Musovski and Jordan Morris also scored while Jesus Ferreira and Cristian Roldan each had two assists for the fifth-seeded Sounders. Robin Lod tallied a goal and an assist for the Loons, who also got a goal from Nectarios Triantis. After neither team produced a regulation goal in the series' first match on Oct. 27, won by Minnesota via penalty kicks, Seattle exploded for three goals in the first 41 minutes of a do-or-die fixture. Vargas got the first goal eight minutes in from a corner kick, drilling a shot off the hand of goalie Dayne St. Clair that trickled over the goal line. While St. Clair could have stopped that one, he had no chance on the next two as poor defending allowed Seattle attackers to roam into the box unfettered. Morris made it 2-0 in the 21st minute via Ferreira's assist. Twenty minutes later, Ferreira set up Musovski near the left post for a three-goal cushion. However, the Loons pulled two back in stunning fashion during eight minutes of first-half stoppage time. Lod was the central figure in both, first setting up Triantis then poking Bongokuhle Hlongwane's pass. (Production: Suramya Kaushik) (The article has been published through a syndicated feed.
