Dairon Asprilla included in MLS Team of the Week for Week 33

Major League Soccer announced today that Portland Timbers forward Dairon Asprilla was named to the MLS Team of the Week for Week 33. Asprilla scored his tenth goal of the season in spectacular fashion to double the Timbers’ lead in a 2-0 win over the San Jose Earthquakes on Wednesday in Providence Park.

In the 55th minute, Aprilla latched onto a ball spilled by the San Jose goalkeeper. Asprilla popped the ball up to himself with his back to goal before attempting the audacious. The Colombian bicycle kicked the juggled ball over the out-of-position keeper and into the back of the net.
