SAN JOSE, Calif. – Major League Soccer today announced that San Jose Earthquakes forward Danny Hoesen has been voted the MLS Player of the Week following his two-goal performance on Saturday. Hoesen scored the team’s first and third goals, including the eventual game-winner, to lift San Jose over Minnesota United FC 3-2.
Hoesen, 27, is the second Earthquakes player in a row to be named the MLS Player of the Week, following Chris Wondolowski and his one-goal, one-assist performance during the regular season finale in 2017. Prior to Wondolowski last season, no Quakes player had won the award since Yannick Djalo in July of 2014.
