Nana-Sinkam scored S2’s lone goal in the 5th minute of Sunday’s contest, the first goal for the 2017 first-round MLS SuperDraft pick of the Seattle Sounders since his sophomore year at Stanford University.
“That was my one goal so I had to remember it,” Nana-Sinkam said after the game. “It was against Cal in one of the Pac-12 championship games and we ended up winning that game and winning the championship.
