Houston Dynamo defender Kiki Struna was named to the MLS Team of the Week, presented by Audi, earlier today after his Week 1 performance against the LA Galaxy last Saturday at BBVA Stadium.
The defender finished with seven clearances on Saturday and won all six of his duels against the Galaxy. Struna played a key role in limiting Galaxy forward Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez to one shot and losing possession 11 times in his MLS debut at BBVA Stadium. Offensively, the Slovenian international was a presence inside the Galaxy half of the field as he recovered the ball six times and completed 46 of a team-high 62 passes (81 percent accuracy).
