The Puddle would like to congratulate Alvaro Saborio of Real Salt Lake for winning MLS Player of the Week for week 18. The Costa Rican international scored a hat-trick against the Portland Timbers Saturday night and ended RSL's four match winless streak. The goals put him on ten for the season and vaults him into range of the golden boot leaders. It was his first hat-trick in MLS and the third in RSL history.
Sabo is the first RSL man to win the honor since Jean Alexander (now of San Jose) won it last season in June. It's the second time Sabo has won the award. He garnered 11 of 16 first place votes with Philadelphia's Michael Farfan placing second.
