Sounders Spotlight: Sounders earn awards for week nine performance in New York

Oba vs NYCFC 150509

Following Sunday’s 3-1 win at NYCFC, Sounders FC earned the weekly award treble, with Obafemi Martins earning MLS Player of the Week and AT&T Goal of the Week honors, while Stefan Frei nabbed MLS Save of the Week. Martins recorded two goals and an assist against NYCFC, including a smooth finish following an 18-pass sequence by the club that earned Goal of the Week. Frei’s 76th-minute diving stop was one of eight saves he made in the victory, which matches his season-high.
