Update: Seattle is playing in a conference final for the first time in its four-year history, thanks in large part to a defense that has given up only two goals in its last seven MLS matches — including consecutive shutouts of Real Salt Lake in the semifinals. Sounders keeper Michael Gspurning leads MLS with a 0.67 goals-against average while giving up one goal in three starts against the Galaxy. He’ll face a different Galaxy on Sunday, one that leads the postseason in scoring with five goals in three games. On Saturday, the league fined and suspended Seattle defender Marc Burch for three games for offensive language during Thursday’s game. The conference final is a two-leg, home-and-home series with the team scoring the most total goals advancing.
