Look back: Sounders claim 2007 USL Championship over Atlanta

SoundersFC.com Staff

On Friday night, Seattle will face Atlanta United for the first time in MLS (7 p.m. PT; FS1, KIRO Radio 97.3 FM, El Rey1360AM | TICKETS), but the soccer history of Seattle vs. Atlanta extends decades back to when the Sounders faced the NASL's Atlanta Chiefs in the late 1960s and early ’70s.


Friday will be the biggest match between the cities of Seattle and Atlanta since the 2007 USL Championship when a Brian Schmetzer-led Sounders team took home their last league championship before winning MLS Cup in 2016. Enjoy the highlights from this match with a Sounders team featuring familiar faces like Taylor Graham, Danny Jackson, Zach Scott, Roger Levesque and many others. Read more about this 2007 team.
