PRO announces referee assignment for Sounders match

We know who the Seattle Sounders are taking on in the Knockout Round of the MLS Playoffs. We also know who will be the man in charge of the game: Ismail Elfath. He will be joined by Peter Manikowski (AR1), Corey Parker (AR2) and Ricardo Salazar (4th).

This will be Elfath’s third game refereeing a match involving the Sounders this season. The first came on April 10 when the Sounders took on the Dynamo in Houston. Elfath only called a total of 12 fouls in the Sounders 1-1 draw that afternoon. He also handed out two yellow cards, one to Jalil Anibaba of Houston and one to Joevin Jones.
