Goal of the Matchday

LA Galaxy's Giovani dos Santos wins AT&T Goal of the Week with a chip

Giovani dos Santos' chip provided the game-winner for LA Galaxy in their 2-1 victory over Columbus Crew SC, and also earned AT&T Goal of the Week honors for Week 26, beating out teammate Baggio Husidic's blast from the same game.


Dos Santos scored in the 82nd minute to give the Galaxy a 2-0 lead, capitalizing on a deflected clearance by Columbus' Dilly Duka that ricocheted off LA's Robbie Rogers and went right into dos Santos' path. As goalkeeper Steve Clark charged off his line, dos Santos got his left foot under the ball and lifted it over Clark and into the net for his 10th goal of the season.


Dos Santos beat Chris Tierney of the New England Revolution in the first round, and then Diego Valeri of the Portland Timbers in the semifinal, before garnering 58 percent of the vote to best Husidic's rocket in the final.
