San Jose Earthquakes' Matías Pérez García wins AT&T MLS Goal of the Week with pinpoint finish

Matías Pérez García is starting to turn it on for the San Jose Earthquakes, and his latest exploits were on display last Saturday in Seattle.

The LA Galaxy's Gyasi Zardes finished third with 19 percent, Pérez García's teammate Sanna Nyassi saw his goal finish fourth with 13.9 percent of the vote, and Dillon Serna of the Colorado Rapids saw his goal come in fifth with 9.35 percent of the vote.
