SEATTLE (AP) – Obafemi Martins scored his team-leading fifth and sixth goals of the season, and Michael Gspurning earned the shutout as the Seattle Sounders beat struggling D.C. United 2-0 last night. Martins’ first goal came at the end of the 19th minute. His second came midway through second-half stoppage time, a 10-yarder from straight in front of the net.
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) – Futty Danso scored the lone goal on a penalty kick and the Portland Timbers defeated Monarcas Morelia 1-0 in an international friendly last night. Danso’s penalty kick came in the 40th minute. A short time later, Morelia midfielder Aldo Leao Ramirez was sent off for arguing a call with an official, leaving the team down a player.
