Goal of the Matchday

Week 12 strike by RSL's Sebastian Saucedo takes AT&T Goal of the Week award

Chris Wondolowski may have surpassed Landon Donovan to set the new all-time career goals mark in MLS, but he couldn't beat out Real Salt Lake's Sebastian Saucedo in Week 12 AT&T Goal of the Week voting.


Voters preferred the aesthetics of Saucedo's long-distance, curling strike ahead of the opportunistic poke by Wondo on a goalkeeper fumble that broke the all-time goals record. Saucedo's goal won by a comfortable 42 percent: 


  1. Sebastian Saucedo (RSL) - 42 percent
  2. Derek Cornelius (VAN) - 22 percent
  3. Chris Wondolowski (SJ) - 19 percent
  4. Chris Mueller (ORL) - 11 percent
  5. Darren Mattocks (CIN) - 6 percent
