Marshall, Johnson score

Marshall

KANSAS CITY, Missouri (CMC):

Jamaicans Tyrone Marshall and Ryan Johnson notched US Major League Soccer (MLS) goals with their teams Saturday night, Marshall's effort helping Seattle Sounders to an exciting win on the road. Seattle clinched a play-off spot by coming from behind to defeat the Kansas City Wizards 3-2 and Johnson got one of San Jose's goals as they drew 2-2 with Chivas USA.

Seattle became the first MLS expansion side since Chicago Fire in 1998 to claim a play-off spot in their inaugural season, with their win at the Wizards CommunityAmerica Ballpark. The experienced Marshall was scoring his second goal of the season and 15th of his 11-year MLS career.

Sensational T&T

HYDERABAD, India (CMC):

Teenager Adrian Barath cracked a marvellous half-century on debut, as sensational Trinidad and Tobago thumped the Eagles by 24 runs and stormed into the Champions League Twenty20 semis as the top League A team.

Scores: T&T 213-4 off 20 overs (Adrian Barath 63, Lendl Simmons 40, Williams Perkins 35, Navin Stewart 33 not out, Kieron Pollard 23); EAGLES 189-5 off 20 overs (Rilee Rossouw 44, Dillon du Preez 35, Boeta Dippenaar 33; Sherwin Ganga 2-25, Kieron Pollard 2-25).

"To score 200 runs was a great effort. We are now looking forward to the semis," winning captain Daren Ganga said after the match.

T&T topped League A of the second-round phase with six points and will remain in Hyderabad to tackle either Victoria or Cape Cobras in the semis.
