SOCCER—NASL: In a week marked by eight overtime games, including five shootouts, and numerous high-scoring performances, Seattle won its 10th straight home game, beating Minnesota 3-2 in overtime on a Frank Barton goal at 92:33. Sounder Forward Roger Davies scored his second hat trick of the season in a 3-0 victory over Atlanta to increase his league-scoring lead to seven points over Giorgio Chinaglia. Chinaglia wasn't the only member of the National Conference East-leading Cosmos who couldn't score. The whole team was shut out 2-0 by Los Angeles; it was the first time in 56 games, since July 5, 1978, that the Cosmos were held scoreless. San Diego couldn't score either, as it continued an 0-4 road trip by losing 2-0 to Tampa Bay (11-8), whose Steve Wegerle assisted on both goals to give him a league career record of 51, surpassing the mark of former Rowdy Rodney Marsh. And after an NASL record 11 shootout rounds, San Diego then lost at Detroit 1-0 for the Express' first shootout win in four tries. Dallas got two shootout victories. In Portland the Tornado snapped its seven-game losing streak by hitting on all five shootout attempts for a 1-0 win over the Timbers (5-12). Then Al Miller, the only remaining American-born coach after Atlanta's Dan Wood was fired this week, got his 100th career win as Dallas beat Tampa Bay 1-0, again in a shootout. In Wood's last game, his Chiefs lost 5-1 to Tulsa, which was sparked by a pair of goals by Billy Caskey. New England's Bob Newton and Los Angeles' Luis Fernando each scored a hat trick—Fernando as the Aztecs beat Edmonton 6-2 and Newton, who set a team record for the quickest three-goal binge (26:52), as the Tea Men defeated Philadelphia 4-0. Earlier in the week Edmonton beat Fort Lauderdale 3-2 on two Edi Kirschner goals, and New England Goalie Kevin Keelan shut out Rochester 2-0. ASC Central leader Chicago (15-3) won twice, shutting out Memphis 2-0 and three days later edging Minnesota 2-1 in overtime. Arno Steffenhagen scored the winner at 102:02. Washington's $1.5 million man, Johan Cruyff, who signed his monster contract before this season, scored only his second goal for the Dips as they beat Vancouver 2-0. Yet Sunday he exploded for two goals and three assists as the Dips beat Houston 6-3. ASC West leader California (10-10) is getting consistently more out of Laurie Abrahams, who had four goals and an assist as the Surf beat Houston 5-4 in overtime.

ASL: Tom Reynolds, goalie of American Conference leader Sacramento, got the league's only shutout of the week and his fifth of the season as the Gold beat last-place Golden Gate 1-0. Otherwise, the scoring was prolific. Pennsylvania opened the week by trouncing California 4-1 on two goals and two assists by Adrian Brooks. Three days later the Stoners found themselves on the short end of the same score as New York won before only 1,721 fans at Shea Stadium. National Conference leader Columbus split a pair of games with Miami, losing 3-2 on two goals by Miami Forward Charley Greene and then beating the Americans on Sunday 2-1. Cleveland beat California 2-1, with Walter Schlothauer getting both Cobra goals.
