TUKWILA — Jordy Delem was the talk of Sounders practice on Tuesday.
The midfielder had an impressive header for his Martinique national team against Mexico on Sunday in pool play of the CONCACAF Gold Cup. The score in the 84th minute pulled his country within a goal of the powerhouse, but Martinique still lost, 3-2.
“I was in the perfect spot in the right moment,” Delem said of his goal, jumping in the air to connect with the ball and snapping his head toward the near post with enough force to ricochet the ball into the goal.
