Bruising play in the final 4 minutes of stoppage time. Ref finally calls a foul as Geoff Cameron trips up Nate Jaqua from behind. Ljungberg takes the kick just outside the box, but headed out by Houston's defense.

Ljungberg takes the corner, just barely over the heads of leaping Sounders in the box. Cross back in to Levesque just brushed wide.

Whistle blows on this first leg of the playoffs -- a disappointing tie for the home team.

Kasey Keller named man of the match, outstanding work in goal for Seattle tonight.
