Chris Wondolowski points at the sky

Chris Wondolowksi is back in familiar territory. His game-winning goal in the San Jose Earthquakes' 1-0 victory over the Seattle Sounders this past weekend claimed Week 4's Goal of the Week.


Wondolowski's gem of a finish against the Sounders took the week's honors by earning 40 percent of the vote, eight more than Darren Mattocks' strike for the Vancouver Whitecaps in their 2-1 defeat to the Houston Dynamo.


The 2012 MLS Golden Boot winner netted for the second time this season in first-half stoppage time of last Saturday's match at Buck Shaw Stadium, bringing down a flicked header with the outside part of his right foot before rifling a shot off the far post and past Seattle goalkeeper Michael Gspurning.
