Alberth Elis named to MLS Team of the Week presented by Audi for Week 5

Houston Dynamo forward Alberth Elis is on a tear, and he's been rewarded for his performances with a spot on the MLS Team of the Week for Week 5, presented by Audi.

Elis played a part in all four of the Dynamo's goals during a 4-1 road win over the Colorado Rapids on Saturday. He began the night with a deft pass to set up Memo Rodriguez's goal in the fourth minute, then forced a pair of own goals from the Rapids as he terrorized the right flank. La Pantera then capped his night with a goal of his own, finished a team sequence with a tidy touch and poke under pressure to beat Tim Howard.
