Zakuani Scores First Two for Sounders

[Z.I.P.]

It didn't take long for Steve to get things into high gear, scoring twice in the first 21 minutes of the first game in the history of the Seattle Sounders FC last weekend. He seems to be one of three real scoring threats for the club, along with Colombian import Freddy Montero and U. of Portland product (saw him score twice I think vs Akron in 2000) and ex-Houton Dynamo 6-5 F Nate Jacqua.http://www.venturacountystar.com/news/2009...ick-fusion-6-1/

Follow up: The Sounders first match in the Northwest was Friday night vs University of Portland at Merlo Field in Portland. Steve came on, along with virtually an entire new squad in the 61st minute of play. He did not score, but was taken down in the area by the UofP goalkeeper, drawing a penalty (second he's gained so far) which was converted in a 4-1 Seattle victory. Zakuani earned a 6.5 game rating (on ten point standard), tieing with Sanni Nyassi for highest grade out in the game. The team is scheduled to leave shortly for Argentina for training and games vs Argentine first division squads like Newell's Old Boys.
