Jaime Penedo

As if beating the Seattle Sounders by a lopsided margin wasn't enough, LA Galaxy goalkeeperJaime Penedo has now earned Week 20's Save of the Week honors.


Penedo took home the award for his impressive denial of Clint Dempsey, a reaction stop that helped the Galaxy keep a cleansheet in their 3-0 triumph at Seattle. The Galaxy veteran earned nearly 38 percent of the vote, edging out FC Dallas goalkeeper Raul Fernandez's 35.38 percent.


Fernandez delivered a similarly stunning stop, getting low to block a shot in FC Dallas' 2-2 draw vs. the Vancouver Whitecaps at BC Place.
