US Open Cup: Timbers Knocked Out At Home By Eric Wyndala's Amateurs; Sounders Blast Silverbacks

The US Open Cup's third round concluded Wednesday night with two games.


At Tukwila, Washington:


Sammy Ochoa scored twice (62',66') as the Seattle Sounders spanked the visiting Atlanta Silverbacks (NASL) 5-1.


At Portland, Oregon:


Artur Aghasyan scored the only goal of the match in the 95th minute as Cal FC (USASA) knocked off the home-standing Portland Timbers 1-0 on the road in overtime to advance to the fourth round.  The Eric Wynalda-founded amateur club became the first squad from the fifth-level Unites States Adult Soccer Association to defeat an MLS team without the use of a penalty-kick shootout in US Open Cup play.  The Timbers' Kris Boyd's penalty kick in the 80th minute sailed over the crossbar.
