Ilsinho named MLS Player of the Week

The Brazilian finally put all the pieces together and he's received some league recognition for it.

For the third time this year, a Philadelphia Union midfielder takes home MLS Player of the Week honors. This time around it’s Ilsinho.

The highly touted Brazilian has had a recent string of "did you see this gif yet?" performances but didn’t find his shooting boots until the Week-18 clash against DC United. His technical work in the box was enough to win a penalty in the 37th minute, which he calmly put to the left side of the goal to open his MLS account.
