At Kansas City, Kansas:
After Kei Kamara converted a penalty kick in the 84th minute to put Sporting Kansas City in front 1-0 in Wednesday's final of the US Open Cup tournament, Zach Scott equalized for the visiting Seattle Sounders in the 86th. With the score deadlocked at 1-1 after regulation time, followed by thirty scoreless overtime minutes, the issue was decided in the penalty-kick shootout, during which, SKC's Paulo Nagamura converted what turned out to be the winning spot kick as SKC won their first Open Cup triumph since 2004, taking the shootout 3-2. The hosts will take part in the group stage of the 2013-14 CONCACAF Champions League. The Sounders' Eddie Johnson had a chance to keep his club in the shootout but his spot kick sailed high over the net. This marked the first defeat in Open Cup for play for Seattle as an MLS club, hoping to win a record fourth straight title.
