Obafemi Martins Scores Brace In Pre-Season Friendly

The Nigeria international has regained his scoring form after finding the back of the net twice for his MLS club in an exhibition match. Super Eagles forward Obafemi Martins only required two minutes to rediscover the missing scoring touch in Seattle Sounders' pre-season friendly 2-1 victory over the San Jose Earthquakes in mid-week.

Two first-half goals by rejuenated attacking potential Martins provided the important confidence booster for the MLS side at the Kino Sports Complex in Tucson, Arizona. Seattle started several of its newcomers from a wild off-season against the Earthquakes, including goalkeeper Stefan Frei, defender Chad Marshall and forward Kenny Cooper.
