SEATTLE -- Chad Marshall headed in a corner kick from Marco Pappa in the 84th minute Saturday night as the Seattle Sounders completed a comeback from a
first-half own goal to beat the Philadelphia Union 2-1.

Ware Broncos Jersey . The Sounders (6-2-1) won their MLS-leading fourth
straight game, extended their unbeaten streak to five and took the overall
league lead with 19 points. "I think Ill be thinking about that goal tonight,"
said Marshall, whose tally was his first since Sept. 14, 2013, while still with
the Columbus Crew before he came to Seattle in an off-season trade. "Ive been
close a couple times this year, so it was nice to get one, especially at home.
And for it to be a game-winner was pretty sweet." During their five-game
unbeaten streak, the Sounders have come from behind in four of them to get the
result. "We said at the beginning of the season that we wanted to be a team that
fought to the very end of games, and were doing that," coach Sigi Schmid said.
"Coming back, we made it a little bit hard for ourselves. We had some good
chances in the first half. . We didnt put those chances away." Philadelphia
(1-4-5) saw its winless streak extended to eight games (0-4-4), tying a club
record that was first set in 2011 and matched in 2012. Pappas corner kick from
the right side floated into the penalty area just outside the 6-yard box.
Marshall ran and headed it high into the net over goalkeeper Zac MacMath for his
first of the year. Marshall was also on top of his game at the other end of the
field, blocking several Philadelphia attempts and clearing away two that were
dangerously close to the Seattle net. "Im a big guy, and Im just trying to get
in their way," said the 6-foot-4 Marshall, who has played all 810 minutes this
season. "I think I have a nice Adidas tattoo on my back from one of (the blocked
shots)." The Union took the lead late in the 13th minute when a long free kick
into the penalty area went into the Seattle net off of Brad Evans head. The own
goal was the result of a free kick by the Unions Cristian Maidana about 40 yards
upfield and slightly toward the right side. He drove it into the box, where
teammate Maurice Edu and Seattles Evans both went up for it. The ball flew into
the right side of the net and originally was credited to Edu, but was changed
moments later to an own goal off of Evans. Obafemi Martins tied it for Seattle
in the 61st minute, his fourth goal of the season. The Sounders created multiple
opportunities to tie it before halftime, none better than Osvaldo Alonsos
penalty kick early in the 40th minute after Philadelphias Amobi Okugo was called
for a hand ball in the box. Alonso went toward the right post, but MacMath dived
to his left and blocked it. Evans started the play that led to the tying goal
when he headed a short ball into the penalty area. Martins caught up with it at
the penalty spot, took it to the top of the 6-yard box and shot into a wide-open
right side of the net for his fourth of the season. "Its a difficult one to take
because we came in and played well in the first half and we got up a goal,"
Union coach John Hackworth said. "Even in the second half, we had some chances
to get a second one, and we didnt put those away. They came back to get back in
the game, and Chad Marshall makes a great play on a corner kick - I dont know
what to say. "Once again, we kind of let ourselves down."

over the past four years. It was hard to tell on Saturday. The 50-year-old
Andrade had the low round of the day, firing a 7-under 65 to jump into a tie for
the lead with Fred Funk after the second round of the Mississippi Gulf Resort
Classic at Fallen Oak. Andrade made nine birdies on Saturday, including a
stretch of six over seven holes midway through the round. The exclamation point
came on the final hole, when he drained a 20-foot putt for birdie. Its the
second time in less than a year that Andrade has been in contention to win a
tournament in the Magnolia State. He finished fifth at the Sanderson Farms
Classic in Madison, Miss., last summer, which was easily his best finish in
three starts on the PGA Tour last year. "I have no idea what it is about
Mississippi," Andrade said laughing. "But right now, I absolutely love it."
Andrade is playing in just his fourth Champions Tour event. His best finish was
eighth place at the ACE Group Classic in February. Fred Couples started the day
with a two-stroke lead, but fell into a tie for second place after shooting a
71. Jay Haas and Jeff Maggert both had 69 to join Couples one stroke behind the
leaders. Andrade has been mostly on the sidelines the past four years, working
part time as an analyst for the Golf Channel. Hes started just eight tournaments
on the PGA Tour since 2010 and said its been nice to play several events in a
row on the Champions Tour since he turned 50 to reggain some consistency.

"It was kind of a swirly, windy day," Andrade said. "We didnt know if the wind
was helping us or hurting us on some holes. But I got off to a nice start with a
birdie on the first hole and then got into a nice rhythm." Andrade and Funk are
at 8-under 136 for the tournament. Funk shot a 67 on Saturday. "I like coming
here because its a pretty difficult golf course and I like hard golf courses,"
Funk said. "When youre playing well, you try to get a little separation,
although were not too separated on the board right now." There are 11 players
within three shots of the lead. Couples had a good start on Saturday, going
2-under through his first six holes. But he had 11 pars and a bogey the rest of
the way to finish at 71, which snapped his streak of 12 straight rounds on the
Champions Tour in the 60s. The streak was one shy of Hale Irwins record set in
1999. "It was just a little sloppy," Couples said. "I didnt make a birdie on the
back nine, so thats a lot of holes without making a birdie." David Frost was
disqualified Saturday after removing a stone in a bunker on Friday, which should
have resulted in a two-stroke penalty. A Champions Tour official said Frost
self-reported the violation after Saturdays round. Frost was tied for sixth
place at 6-under before his disqualification. Because of expected rain, the tee
times have been moved earlier for Sundays final round. The leaders are scheduled
to tee off at 10 a.m. CT.
