The North American Soccer Reporters (NASR) named Seattle Sounders forward Clint Dempsey the MLS Player of the Week for Week 24 on Tuesday. The NASR consists of journalists in print, television and online media and selects a Player of the Week for each week of the MLS regular season.
Dempsey scored twice in the Sounders’ 3-1 win over the Portland Timbers on Sunday. He converted a penalty kick in the 61st minute before netting the eventual game-winner in the 80th on a left-footed shot from the top of the box that found the bottom corner.
