Nov 18 - Western Conference final, leg 2: Seattle Sounders FC 2 - 1 Los Angeles Galaxy (Johnson 12, Scott 57; Keane 68). The Sounders played well and won the match, but Los Angeles won the series 4-2 on aggregate.
It was another outstanding year for the Sounders FC in their fourth MLS season. However, it was a bit disappointing to fall short of any trophies. The Sounders were victims of bad luck in losing in the second round of the playoffs and in losing the US Open Cup final. A poor stretch in the middle of the season dropped them out of reach of the Supporters Shield. In the CONCACAF Champions League the Sounders opened the season with a poor showing in the 2011-12 quarterfinal series with Santos Laguna, then excelled to finish first in their group for the 2012-13 tournament.
On the whole, many thanks to the players, coaches, staff, and owners for another year filled with memorable play.
