SAN JOSE, Calif. – Major League Soccer today announced that San Jose Earthquakes forward Chris Wondolowski has been named the MLS Player of the Week for Week 12. Wondolowski scored four goals on Saturday vs. the Chicago Fire, including the game-winner, becoming just the second player in MLS to score four goals in a match since 2009.
Needing one goal to tie Landon Donovan’s all-time MLS goals record, Wondolowski scored four times against a Chicago side that conceded four total goals in their seven prior matches combined. With his performance, he is now the league’s all-time leader in goals scored (148) and co-record holder in game-winning goals (41 – Donovan).
