Soccer Betting Lines

07/12/2010 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chivas USA forward Justin Braun was voted Major League Soccer's Player of the Week for Week 15 of the 2010 season on Monday.

Braun scored both of his club's goals in its 2-0 win over the Kansas City Wizards at CommunityAmerica Ballpark on Saturday night.

Braun scored in the 56th and 87th minutes, helping Chivas USA end a seven-game winless run dating back to a 4-0 win over the New England Revolution on May 5. Braun leads his club with six goals.

Braun latched onto a poor clearance from Wizards defender Jimmy Conrad and hit the upper-right corner from 17 yards to leave goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen no chance in the 56th. He followed with a perfect shot from the edge of the area to the top-left corner to seal the win with three minutes left.

The award is the 23-year-old Braun's first, and the first for a Chivas USA player since 2007.

The MLS Player of the Week award is selected each week by the North American Soccer Reporters. The group consists of members of online, print, television, radio media. More information can be found at soccerreporters.com.
