Game thread: Sounders and Galaxy meet in one-game playoff

Follow along live as the Sounders look to vanquish their postseason boogeyman as they host the L.A. Galaxy in a one-game playoff on Wednesday night at CenturyLink Field.

3rd & 7 37yd

Wow.

Robbie Keane megs a Seattle defender and nearly scores on the opening kick off, but his touch gets away from him. Fast start for LA.

3’ - This one is #testy already. Also, #tasty .

Thanks for a beautiful rendition of our National Anthem at #SEAvLA this evening! ???????????? twitter.com/VicciMartinez/…

A lot being asked of Andy Rose filling in for Alonso in the middle. Rose's first start in MLS action since Aug. 22

by Matt Pentz via twitter 10/29/2015 2:28:58 AM
4’ - As expected, Rose filling the role as the holder between he and Friberg. The latter trekking forward.

GOAL Seattle. Dempsey punishes an inexplicable Galaxy miscue at the back. 1-0 Sounders less than five minutes in

by Matt Pentz via twitter 10/29/2015 2:29:38 AM
5' CLINT DEMPSEY GOAL!

Donovan Ricketts fails to catch an errant Seattle shot and it falls perfectly to Clint Dempsey who scores.

by Adam Serrano via twitter 10/29/2015 2:30:20 AM
5’ - DEMPSEY WITH A PRIME DELIVERY OF MEATS AND CHEESES FOR THE GALAXY

That is inexcusable from Gonzalez and Ricketts. Gifted Dempsey an empty net

by Matt Pentz via twitter 10/29/2015 2:30:44 AM
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLL SEBASTIAN LLETGET! 1-1! #SEAvLA

by LA Galaxy via twitter 10/29/2015 2:31:08 AM
Calamitous bit of (non) communication between Gonzalez and Ricketts sees Ricketts fumble and Dempsey lash home. 1-0 SEA.

by Jeff Carlisle via twitter 10/29/2015 2:31:16 AM
6’ - Welp. Galaxy goal. Lletget. We’re in for a doozy, folks.

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 10/29/2015 2:31:24 AM
GOAL L.A. Well that didn't last very long. Lletget beats Frei inside the far post. Ones at CenturyLink

by Matt Pentz via twitter 10/29/2015 2:31:32 AM
And now Lletget equalizes just like that after layoff from Zardes, 1-1 in 6th minute. #SEAvLA

by Jeff Carlisle via twitter 10/29/2015 2:31:48 AM
7’ - Guys. What.

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 10/29/2015 2:31:51 AM
6' #LAGALAXY GOAL!

Sebastian Lletget with a cool finish after the lay off by Gyasi Zardes. We're all level.

by Adam Serrano via twitter 10/29/2015 2:32:08 AM
I'm not sure Zardes meant for that to be a pass, but that was a great touch to set up the goal

by Matt Pentz via twitter 10/29/2015 2:32:08 AM
Galaxy goal, and we're on pace for ET in a 15-15 game. #MLSCupPlayoffs #SEAvLA

8’ - I still haven’t had time to mentally process what audiobook Donovan Ricketts was listening to on Dempsey’s goal.

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 10/29/2015 2:32:40 AM
WHAT IS HAPPENING. 1-1 within minutes. #MLSCupPlayoffs #SEAvLA

by Major League Soccer via twitter 10/29/2015 2:32:46 AM
Giovani dos Santos with the perfectly weighted ball to Gyasi Zardes who taps it to Sebastian Lletget for the finish. Class goal.

by Adam Serrano via twitter 10/29/2015 2:33:19 AM

9’ - Can we talk about how Gerrard runs like he’s a 15-year-old dog walking to bed on its tiptoes.

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 10/29/2015 2:34:31 AM
Both Zardes and Dos Santos credited with assists on Lletget's goal. Both deserve it

by Matt Pentz via twitter 10/29/2015 2:34:51 AM
That's Lletget's first goal for #lagalaxy since Aug. 23 when he scored against NYCFC. #SEAvLA

Goal Seattle. Valdez makes it 2-1 to the home side. laglxy.com/1O8Frwy #SEAvLA

GOAL Seattle. Valdez from Ivanschitz. What a free kick. 2-1 Sounders in the 12th

by Matt Pentz via twitter 10/29/2015 2:36:38 AM
12’ - NELSON VALDEZ GOOOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL MY DUDE

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 10/29/2015 2:36:41 AM
Andreas Ivanschitz, the Austrian David Beckham

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 10/29/2015 2:37:07 AM
13’ - Valdez is such a predator. Beauty of a ball from Ivanschitz and Nelson slid under it like he was sliding home from the outfield.

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 10/29/2015 2:37:53 AM
12' SEATTLE GOAL.

Nelson Valdez with the finish off the Andres Ivanschitz free kick. Looked like Valdez was a yard or a half offside.

by Adam Serrano via twitter 10/29/2015 2:37:55 AM
Seattle back in front! Valdez makes it 2-1! vine.co/v/eYFHVhqUFtV

We hope you're sitting down. Valdez makes it 2-1 @SoundersFC after just 12 minutes. #MLSCupPlayoffs #SEAvLA

by Major League Soccer via twitter 10/29/2015 2:38:34 AM
Gerrard totally expected Ricketts to come for that. Lots of communication problems defensively for #lagalaxy . #SEAvLA

by Jeff Carlisle via twitter 10/29/2015 2:38:40 AM
14’ - *quietly points to Gerrard leaving his marker in the box*

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 10/29/2015 2:38:40 AM
Shot Rogers!

Robbie puts a curling shot juuuuuuuuust a bit outside. laglxy.com/1O8Frwy #SEAvLA

by LA Galaxy via twitter 10/29/2015 2:38:50 AM
15' Incredibly tough start for Donovan Ricketts and the #LAGalaxy defense who have seen two communication issues result in goals.
