Nigeria’s Obafemi Martins’ super strike against Portland Timber was voted Week 24 best goal in the Major Soccer League.
Martins’ incredible goal was the talk of town in Seattle Sounders emphatic win over their rivals, the Portland Timbers, last Sunday.
The petit striker forced his way through a pack of defenders before lifting a shot past Portland goalkeeper, Donovan Ricketts, late in the second half, bagging his brace and giving Seattle their fourth and final goal in a 4-2 victory at Providence Park.
The impressive strike instantly garnered AT&T Goal of the Week buzz, and it ended up claiming the Week 24 honours with ease.
After leading voting for the majority of the week, the Nigerian forward’s goal finished with more than 66 per cent of the vote.
That total was more than four times the amount for runner-up Sam Cronin, and gave Martins his league-leading fourth Goal of the Week award this season.
He previously won it in Weeks 7, 8 and 11.
