Kick Magazine August 30th, 1979

The game program for the San Diego Sockers vs Tampa Bay Rowdies Playoff Game in San Diego. 20,267 fans the largest crowd to see a soccer game in San Diego, saw the Sockers down the Rowdies 2-1.

Leonardo Cuellar scored the game winner with less than a minute to play to bring the Sockers within 1 win of the Soccer Bowl.

The game(s) that followed in Tampa on September 2nd were pure drama as the Rowdies won the second leg at home 3-2. Each team with a win (no aggregates in the NASL) set up a 30 minute game immediately after. The 2 exhausted teams played and the Rowdies eeked out a 1-0 win before 38,766 fans. The Rowdies went on to the Soccer Bowl only to lose to the Vancouver Whitecaps 2-1.

For four consecutive seasons (1979 to 1982) the Sockers reached the playoff semi-finals but agonizingly fell one game short of the Soccer Bowl each time. This was the Sockers outdoor heyday.
