Sounders beat Chivas USA 3-1 which means they get to host the championship game of the 2010 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. The goals came from Nate Jaqua in the 9' and the 92' and Fredy Montero. The Sounders won the Open Cup last year playing the championship game at D.C. United.  They have gone six games against MLS teams without losing and they went seven games including CONCACAF games without losing until they lost to Monterrey on August 25. The Sounders have been on a roll since they traded the midfielder Freddy Ljungberg to the Chicago fire. They beat the Fire last Saturday 2-1. The forward Fredy Montero was awarded player of the week this week. Steve Zakauni returned last Saturday after missing five games from a minor pelvic injury. Sanna Nyassi missed the game yesterday and will miss the game Saturday against the Revolution because he was called by the Gambian national team for the African Cup of Nations.
