Portland's defence fell apart against Seattle as three players had the chance to clear but didn't, allowing Obafemi Martins to score.

Obafemi Martins may have scored his 10th goal of the MLS season in Seattle's 2-1 win over Portland, but he has some rookie defending to thank!

Not one, not two, but three Portland defenders had the opportunity to hack the ball down field in the sixth minute but all three players made a mess of the clearance.

The ball then fell to Martins and the visitors were punished as the former Newcastle striker fired the ball into the back of the net.
