I raised the seat back up and I also adjusted where I put my feet on the pedals - apparently this also makes a difference. I stopped biking for a couple days to give my knees the rest and when I started back up the knee pain gradually disappeared.
Could also just be that you strained it during soccer without noticing and the pain onset was delayed. Do you usually ride and play soccer on the same day, because I also noticed that adding extra workouts while I was riding my bike made the knee pain worse before I figured out the problem.

Riding was just to commute to/from the game - not for exercise per-se. A leisurely 10 minute ride each way. My knee has been getting better and feels like 85-90% right now, but Sat and Sun are soccer playoffs so we'll see how it feels after 2-3 games this weekend. I haven't played since my knee started to act up.
I did end up getting the cream, but I can't tell if it's doing anything or not.
