Jaqua scores, but goal is called back

E-mail this77th minute: Jaqua gets a brilliant pass from Ljungberg, who is fouled as he strikes a monster cross to the top of the box. With two defenders, Jaqua gets the shot off and hits the back of the net... but Onstad had stopped playing -- back at the halfway mark, the referee had blown the whistle on that Dynamo penalty against Ljungberg. Ridiculous that Salazar couldn't wait a split second to see who had the advantage before stopping play.
Soon after, Ljungberg dribbles himself into the box, under pressure taps a quick pass to Levesque in front of the goal, whose sliding shot is deflected by a Houston defender.
***Substitution: Sebastien LeToux in for Steve Zakuani in the 82nd minute. Fresh legs we need to spark some offense?
about...
I'm a longtime soccer player and fan. My career started
with the Audubon Owls, the meanest group of 1st graders
ever to play 'small side' ball (6 v. 6 players on the
field). We won every game (who kept score?) and ate orange
slices at half time. I was hooked immediately.
Somewhere along the line I was drafted as a goalkeeper--a
sure sign of crazyness. The pressure felt by keepers is
intense. In mere seconds you can become the hero or the
goat of the entire match. But for me, nothing was more
rewarding than launching myself across the goal and feeling
the thrill of a big save.
After years of local recreational, high school, and select
club play, I'm excited to learn and fall in love with our
new MLS side along with the rest of the Pacific Northwest.
Before long, we'll all be bleeding neon-green and blue.
Go Sounders!
