You can now add Kalif Alhassan to the list of Portland Timbers players that have claimed the AT&T Goal of the Week award this season.


Alhassan became the sixth member of the Timbers to take home the honors after earning just over 38 percent of Week 28's votes for his splendid winner in Portland's 4-0 home victory over Toronto FC.
