Save of the Week

Cannon's stop on Agudelo wins Save of the Week

vancouver whitecaps goalkeeper joe cannon

On Saturday against the New York Red Bulls, the Vancouver Whitecaps once again failed to get a road win. Were it not for Joe Cannon, though, the 'Caps might not have even left Red Bull Arena with a point.


The Vancouver goalkeeper won the Save of the Week for Week 26 for a diving stop in the 80th minute on Juan Agudelo's header. The save kept the score level at 1-1, the eventual final scoreline.


Cannon's save took almost 47 percent of the vote, well ahead of second-place finisher Matt Pickens whose diving reaction save on LA Galaxy defender Todd Dunivant's header kept the match scoreless. LA would go on to win 1-0 behind a 36th-minute goal from Landon Donovan.
