The 29-year-old Nigerian scored his first Major League Soccer goal of the season for Seattle Sounders in their 2-0 win away to Montreal Impact at the Olympic Stadium, Montreal.

The Nigerian international who has one assist to his credit this term headed in Kenny Cooper's cross from close range in the 58th minute to hand his side their first away win of the season.

The clash which was scheduled for Saturday against the Impact was postponed until Sunday because of expected snow in Montreal.
