    Widely traveled Nigerian striker, Obafemi Martins goal helped Seattle Sounders to a four nil victory even as that win ended Real Salt Lake's twelve match unbeaten run. 

    Second half goals by Marco Pappa, Chad Barrett and
    Obafemi "ObaGoal" Martins completed a four nil thumping of RSL after Gonzalo Pineda had earlier in the first half scored from the spot.

    The former Inter Milan striker missed an opportunity in the first half to put his name in the Scorers sheet but made sure he did score in the second half when the opportunity came. The Nigerian calmly tapped in from close range in the 90th minute when he got a begging cross from Kenny Cooper to make it four nil.

    The four nil thumping of Real Salt Lake by Seattle Sounders on Saturday ended the unbeaten streak of RSL who had not lost a game since the 21st of September in a 2-1 loss to San Jose.

    Martins who played a part during the World Cup qualifying matches but wasn't with the Super Eagles at Africa Cup of Nations in 2013 and didn't make the 30-man World Cup provisional list has now scored four goals in the last five games in Seattle Sounders shirt
