Portland Timbers forward Fanendo Adi loves braces. He has six of them in his 28 career MLS regular season games. His latest came in the span of three minutes Saturday night as he helped fire the Timbers to a 2-0 victory over the New England Revolution--the team's third win in a row.
Teammate Jorge Villafana set up Adi's first goal with a picture-perfect free kick and contributed spirited work in on both sides of the ball from his left back position.
Read on to find out who else made the Team of the Week for Week 14:
GK: Tim Melia (Sporting Kansas City) - Made six saves in SKC's 1-0 win against Seattle and continues to show he's the right man for Sporting's starting job.
D: Donny Toia (Montreal Impact) - Continued his strong form under Frank Klopas, helping Montreal collect six points in a strong week for the Impact.
D: Kendall Waston (Vancouver Whitecaps) – The Costa Rican was immense again, accruing 14 clearances in Vancouver's big road victory at LA.
D: Jorge Villafana (Portland Timbers) - Had a terrific assist on Fanendo Adi’s winner, and did his part in keeping the Revolution off the board.
M: Andres Romero (Montreal Impact) – Contributed to both game-winning goals this week, first assisting Ignacio Piatti on his 83rd minute winner vs. the Whitecaps and then scoring the winner against Crew SC on Saturday night.
M: Sebatian Giovinco (Toronto FC) – Continued his blistering form with two goals against D.C. United. The Italian really made the difference in TFC’s win.
M: Thomas McNamara (New York City FC) – Made his first start as a member of NYCFC and rewarded Jason Kreis with a wonder strike of a goal in the team's first win since March.
M: Boniek Garcia (Houston Dynamo) – After talk of his lack of production last week, Garcia came off the bench and sparked Houston early in the second half, scoring and adding two assists as the Dynamo cruised over the Red Bulls.
F: Will Bruin (Houston Dynamo) –Put it a strong performance even before his goals, but the striker made sure Houston’s result against the Red Bulls was not in doubt with a brace.
F: Fanendo Adi (Portland Timbers) – Only played 23 minutes, but made his time count by notching both goals in the Timbers’ win over New England.
F: C.J. Sapong (Philadelphia Union) - Scored a goal in each game for the Union last week and helped Philadelphia drub Crew SC 3-0 in midweek.
Coach:Owen Coyle (Houston Dynamo) - Has Will Bruin in maybe his best form as a professional and got something out of Boniek for the first time this season in a huge 4-2 over the Red Bulls.
Bench:Josh Saunders (New York City FC), Matt Besler (Sporting Kansas City), Liam Ridgewell (Portland Timbers), Luke Mulholland (Real Salt Lake), Kwadwo Poku (New York City FC), David Accam (Chicago Fire), Jairo Arrieta (D.C. United)
