SEATTLE (AP) - Marco Pappa, Chad Barrett and Obafemi Martins scored second-half goals and the Seattle Sounders ended Real Salt Lake's season-opening unbeaten streak at 12 with a 4-0 victory Saturday in a game between the two top teams in Major League Soccer.
Gonzalo Pineda also scored on a first-half penalty kick for the Sounders (9-3-2). Pappa's goal was his first of the season. Barrett scored for the second straight game, giving him three goals for the year. Martins tallied his sixth.
While Seattle won its MLS-high fifth straight home match, Salt Lake (6-1-6) fell for the first time, missing a chance to set an MLS record for longest unbeaten streak to start the year.
Los Angeles (12-0 in 1996 and 10-0-2 in 2010) and Kansas City (10-0-2 in 2000) previously had 12-game season-opening undefeated streaks.
Salt Lake also had an overall 16-game regular-season unbeaten streak (8-0-8) end. RSL hadn't lost since last Sept. 21 at home against San Jose, 2-1.
