Martins: Seattle striker Obafemi Martins marked his return to the line-up by scoring twice against Orlando City on Sunday as the Sounders brought their miserable five-game losing run in Major League Soccer to an end with a 4-0 home win. Martins, who missed nine league games due to an adductor strain, opened the scoring in the 17th minute before hitting his side’s third in the 62nd minute.

Mitroglou: Greece striker Konstantinos Mitroglou scored on his league debut for Benfica to set the Portuguese champions on the way to a 4-0 win over Estoril on Sunday. Benfica took 74 minutes to break down the visitors before blasting four goals in 15 minutes in an encouraging start to the season.

Swansea: Swansea have completed the signing of Falkirk striker Botti Biabi. The Swans announced on their official website that 19-year-old Biabi has agreed a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee, subject to international clearance. London-born Biabi will link up with the club’s under-21 squad.

Wendt: Borussia Monchengladbach have extended the contract of defender Oscar Wendt by two years until 2018. The 29-year-old played his 100th game for the club in Saturday’s 4-0 defeat to Borussia Dortmund and has been rewarded with a new deal to reflect his status among the Foals.
