Sounders FC found its footing in September, going unbeaten across MLS competitions and securing a spot in the knockout round of CONCACAF Champions League. At the helm of the Rave Green's turnaround was forward Obafemi Martins, who found the back of the net in every match he played and even picked up an assist for good measure. The Goal Machine has tallied a stunning 14 goals in 18 games played and has proven to be the most efficient attacker in the league, picking up those goals in just 38 shots.
Vote for Oba for MLS Player of the Month
The Sounders faithful aren't the only ones to notice how impressive Oba is, as he's up for MLS Player of the Month for September. Martins finds himself up against stiff competition, though; the fan-based vote pits him against Didier Drogba, Kei Kamara, Sebastian Giovinco and Lee Nguyen. In case you need a few reasons why he's deserving of the honor, check out a few of his goals from the last month:
- WATCH: Martins finishes a perfect pass from Pineda
- WATCH: Martins draws the Sounders level with an acrobatic overhead kick
- WATCH: Martins and Dempsey combine for strikes versus Toronto
Fans have until 7:00 a.m. PT on Friday, October 2 to cast their vote for the one-and-only Obafemi.
