Aljaz Ivacic is delivering in every match and in this season earning a starting spot defending the Timbers goalposts. The man has earned his second Team of the Week spot with another amazing performance.
The man from Slovenia had a six-save performance that helped his Portland Timbers secure a 2-1 comeback win over the San Jose Earthquakes, extending their unbeaten streak to seven consecutive games (4w-0L-3D).
For Dairon Aspirilla, scoring the go ahead and winning goal, this was enough for him to earn a spot in the bench for MLS Team of the Week for week 22 with a nicely executed header and beating his mark man on the 71st minute, Aspirilla scored his fifth goal of the season.
