Portuguese legend Eusebio connects on a first-half free kick and the unfashionable Toronto Metros-Croatia upset the Minnesota Kicks, 3-0, before 25,765 in Soccer Bowl ’76 at the Kingdome.

Although there are encouraging signs, the Seattle Sounders simply can't buy a win. They take their fifth straight loss (two via shootout), 2-1 to San Jose in the Kingdome.

But Paul Child quickly knots it at 1-1, and in the 60th minute all-time NASL scoring king Ilija Mitic curls a free kick over the wall for the win.
