Apparently Seattle wins trophies, too.

Freddy Montero and Roger Levesque scored to give the expansion Sounders a 2-1 win over D.C. United in the U.S. Open Cup final tonight at RFK.

The young Colombian star scored off a rebound in the 67th minute, and Levesque killedt he game off in the 85th before DC pulled a goal back late. Seattle joined Bob Bradley’s 1998 Chicago Fire as the only clubs to win the Open Cup in their debut season.

Rest assured Seattle will savor _ and their fans will surely bag about _ this one. They were mad when the U.S. Soccer Federation picked to D.C. instead of them for the final. Seattle GM Adrian Hanauer’s complaints touched off a catlike tiff wioth United president Kevin Payne, and DC took out huge ads in the local media, boasting that they “win titles.”

Apparently, so does Seattle.
