 SEATTLE (AP) - Blood, noise and yellow cards outnumbered scoring chances as the expansion Seattle Sounders debuted in the MLS playoffs with a 0-0 draw against the Houston Dynamo on Thursday night in the first match of a home-and-home, aggregate-goals set.
Second-seeded Houston, seeking its third MLS title in four seasons, denied a frantic late flurry of corner kicks and set plays by Sounders star Freddie Ljungberg.
The playoff opener was yet another splashy event in the Sounders' smashing inaugural season.
