Seattle Sounders FC moved to 2-0 in training games Tuesday with a 2-0 win over Shandong Luneng of China in a closed game played at Ventura College

Both Sounders goals came from 19-year-old midfielder Sanna Nyassi.

Here's the game report provided by the Sounders:

LINEUP
1st Half Lineup: Ben Dragavon, Adam West, Kyle Schmid, Patrick Ianni, James Riley, Lamar Neagle, Stephen King, Ryan Caugherty, Ryan Pore, Vinicius Oliviera, Jeff Clark

2nd Half Lineup: Kevin Guppy, Evan Brown, Danny Jackson, Mamadou Danso, Emerald George, Fernando Screpis, Stephen King (Nathan Sturgis, 60), Sanna Nyassi, Sebastien Le Toux, Roger Levesque

SCORE
Nyassi, 56th minute (King)
Nyassi, 75th minute (Le Toux)

The first goal was scored when Stephen King, the only holdover from the first half, sent a ball over the top to Sanna Nyassi on the right side and Nyassi chipped it over the Shandong keeper in the 56th minute.

The second goal was scored when Sebastien Le Toux launched the ball over the offside trap to the speedy Nyassi, who found himself 1-v-1 with the keeper. Nyassi drew the keeper out of the box and went around him, leaving nothing between him and the goal but open turf. He dribbled to point-blank range and hammered it in for the 2-0 lead. Nyassi has three goals and an assist in the first two exhibition games.

INJURY REPORT
Jared Karkas (hamstring) and Taylor Graham (foot contusion) missed the Shandong Luneng scrimmage. Fourth-round pick Michael Fucito (hamstring) has not yet joined the team for training. Jarrod Smith (hip flexor) remains in Seattle. Vagenas is recovering from arthroscopic surgery to trim articular cartilage above his knee. Freddie Ljungberg, who underwent surgery to repair a hip condition in December, continues to rehabilitate in Sweden.

SIGI SCHMID SAID
On his Tuesday lineup: “It was important for us to see how different guys reacted. We had a chance to be able to use some guys in different positions like Evan Brown at left back, and see what he could do there. And we had Sebastien (Le Toux) up front again to see what he could do there. It was good.”

On Sanna Nyassi’s performance: “He obviously has good speed. If a team is going to play an offside trap, then a player like him or if we had played a player like Steve Zakuani, are going to tear a team like that apart. So that’s what Sanna did. He finishes goals well. The first one he finished very well by chipping it over him. The timing of his run was very good. Roger (Levesque) made a very unselfish run to open up that space for him. He was very effective. He’s a dangerous player. He’s the kind of player that is the kind of guy that can impact the game by coming off the bench, or being in the starting lineup.”

On different combinations making roster decisions difficult: “Things are always difficult. That’s what they’re supposed to do. Supposed to make my job as difficult as possible. If they’re not doing that then they’re not doing a good job. But actually it’s also pretty easy. I think some decisions have become pretty clear. At this stage, things are in our minds getting to pretty much a sharp final point.”

LOOKING AHEAD
Sounders FC will make its public debut on Wednesday night, at the Ventura County Fusion. Kickoff is 7 p.m. at Buena High School.

On Friday night, Seattle meets the San Jose Earthquakes in the MLS Central Coast Showcase at San Luis Obispo. Kickoff is 7 p.m. at Alex G. Spanos Stadium on the campus of Cal Poly.

Seattle Sounders FC has acquired defender Tyrone Marshall from Toronto FC for an undisclosed amount of allocation money, the club announced today.

Here's highlights from their press release:

Marshall, 34, started 39 games at central defender for Toronto since being obtained from the L.A. Galaxy midway through the 2007 Major League Soccer season. He is currently playing with the Jamaican National Team in England. Jamaica plays Nigeria in a friendly on Wednesday night (Feb. 11) in London.

“The addition of Tryone brings us speed and experience to our back four,” coach Sigi Schmid said. “He’s a player I know well from my time in Los Angeles. He has two rings to his name and that championship mentality is something we can always use.”

A veteran of 11 MLS seasons, Marshall played five-plus seasons with the L.A. Galaxy (2002-07). He was a two-time MLS All-Star and a member of the Galaxy’s MLS Cup-winning teams in 2002 and 2005, and also helped L.A. win the U.S. Open Cup in 2005.

Sounders FC head coach Sigi Schmid was the Galaxy coach from 1999-2004.

Marshall has appeared in 248 career MLS regular-season games, starting 221. He has totaled 13 goals and 17 assists. Marshall was drafted out of Florida International by Colorado in 1998, then traded during that season to Miami, where he played through 2001.

These quotes from FC coach Sigi Schmid were provided by the Sounders' media staff:

Overall assessment of the 3-1 win over LA: “Obviously it didn’t start well, but that’s good too. Preseason is preseason. I don’t make too much stock in these games, but it’s always good to win rather than losing. It’s a habit that we start building as a new team. I was happy with the first half. I thought we gave up three chances. They scored on one. It hit the post on the other one. But I thought we were really close to getting a number of goals. I thought our movement of the ball was good at times. We put people into dangerous positions. I was happy with that. And I thought we got better as the game went on. We understood each other a little better, and made some real adjustments.”

On the speed of guys like Sanna Nyassi, who scored in the 91st minute: “There’s other teams that are going to have speed too. But obviously players like Nyassi and Sebastien (Le Toux)… (Steve) Zakuani’s got good speed. Fredy (Montero) has good quickness. Those are things that we’re going to have to build our game around.”

On Steve Zakuani’s run into the box that led to a Fredy Montero penalty kick: “I mean there’s a rookie going against another rookie: He was going against (A.J.) Delegarza. But Delegarza probably has a good shot at being the guy at right back, until Sean Franklin comes. It’ll be a little different when he goes against a veteran right back like Frankie Hejduk, who is a little more experienced. I think that Steve has a little bit of extra stuff some times – that cut back. When he got the ball he was dangerous time after time, and that’s what we’re counting on.”

On lineups in the remaining three exhibition matches: “We’ll start against China (Shandong Luneng on Tuesday) the group that didn’t play. The nine guys that didn’t play L.A., and one other. And then we’ll mix. We might mix the last two groups a little bit, and remix it again as we play Ventura (Fusion). We don’t want guys going more then 45 minutes, maybe the San Jose game on Friday, we might push a couple of guys to 60. Most of the guys we’ll only keep at 45.”

Here's the Sounders' first-ever starting lineup, as provided by the Sounders.FC website:

Kasey Keller, Nathan Sturgis, Tyson Wahl, Taylor Graham, James Riley, Steve Zakuani, Brad Evans, Osvaldo Alonso, Sebastien Le Toux, Fredy Montero, Nate Jaqua.

Here's the second-half lineup:
Chris Eylander, Zach Scott, Danny Jackson, Mamadou Danso, Evan Brown, Fernando Screpis, Leighton O¹Brien, Ryan Caugherty, Sanna Nyassi, Ryan Pore, Roger Levesque.
