Espindola had the opening two goals in the 4-0 win, and bested Sporting Kansas City goalkeeper Tim Melia (who equaled Espindola in first-place votes) by virtue of more second and third-place votes from the panel.
Otherwise, the field was pretty mixed, with a whole lot of players around the league garnering votes, San Jose’s Quincy Amarikwa the leader among the rest of the pack.
