Fanendo Adi, Obafemi Martins Grab Brace In MLS

FC Copenhagen loanee Fanendo Adi notched up his second consecutive brace away from home in the MLS, as Portland Timbers defeated Real Salt Lake 3 - 1 on Saturday.

The former Dynamo Kiev and Metalurh Donetsk striker was on target in the 36th and 45th minute to hand Portland Timbers a 2 - 1 lead going into the interval.

Fanendo Adi also netted a double at the Stubhub Center (Carson, California) on May 28 in the 2 - 0 win over Chivas USA.

The loan agreement between FC Copenhagen and Portland Timbers comes to an end on July 31, but a permanent move can not be ruled out except he suffers a dip in form in the next three matches.

Meanwhile, Seattle Sounders maintained their hold on first place in the Western Conference standings following their hard fought 3 - 2 win against Chicago Fire, with Obafemi Martins grabbing a brace for the visitors.

Referee Chris Penso issued the Nigeria international a red card three minutes before the interval.
