TUKWILA, Wash. -- Brian Nana-Sinkam scored a goal in his team debut but Seattle Sounders 2 conceded twice in the second half en route to a 2-1 defeat to Sacramento Republic FC in their season-opening match at Starfire Sports on Sunday.
Nana-Sinkam, the Sounders’ first-round pick in this year’s MLS SuperDraft out of Stanford, got the match off to a dream start for S2 after opening the scoring shortly after the match kicked off. But Sacramento’s Sammy Ochoa and Emrah Klimenta would each find tallies before the final whistle to give the visitors the victory.
Nana-Sinkam struck first in the 5th minute off a pinpoint free kick from midfielder Irvin Parra that found him in front of goal.
