Save of the Week

Real Salt Lake's Nick Rimando's soaring reaction stop claims Save of the Week

Nick Rimando

It may have come in a losing effort, but Nick Rimando's soaring reaction on Chris Wondolowski was a thing of beauty.


Rimando denied Wondolowski with a soaring reaction save to keep Real Salt Lake alive in their match against the San Jose Earthquakes this past weekend, but it was not enough to avoid a 2-1 defeat. Still, Rimando's stop was voted Week 30's Save of the Week, garnering more than 48 percent of the vote.


The award gives Rimando seven Save of the Week awards this season, putting him just one behind leader Donovan Ricketts of the Portland Timbers.


Final Votes - Week 30 (online poll and text vote):


1. Nick Rimando (RSL): 48.40%
2. David Ousted (VAN): 22.50%
