Sons of Norway Vikings claim the state league crown and Eddie Craggs trophy by defeating Triumph Continental, 3-1, before 1,000 at West Seattle. The first-half winners get two goals from outbound star Bob Hough and another from Mikko Niemela. Bruce Walyor scores for Triumph. Hough, one of the area's top layers for four seasons, is set to join San Francisco Scots the following week.

Jerry Melton's second goal gives Teutonia the lead and Mike Kramer adds a fourth before Heinz Ritter's 85th-minute score.

After the visitors forged a 2-nil lead, Will Bruin is substituted and almost immediately ignites the rally in the 75th minute. Raul Ruidiaz equalizes in the 89th. Svensson, also a substitute, was playing for the first time since testing positive for COVID after returning from international duty for Sweden.

In the final 10 minutes they pour it on. Skye Henderson scores at 82:06 and Whitworth seems on the verge of tying when time expires. At 16-3-1, Sean Bushey's squad has the most wins since 1989.
