Goal of the week update: Hassoun Camara tied for first place with Kobayashi

MLS Goal of the Week: Week 2

Voting for the season's second Goal of the Week award is shaping for a photo finish between two Canadian contenders. 


Vancouver's Daigo Kobayashi and Montreal's Hassoun Camara are currently dead even and comfortably ahead of their competition thus far, as voters show equal appreciation for Kobayashi's long-distance missile in the Whitecaps' 2-1 win over Columbus and Camara's opportunistic overhead kick at Portland.


This race is tighter than a torn hamstring, with only a handful of votes separating the two strikes, so every ballot counts down the final stretch. Make your pick in the poll at right, or via text message.


1. Hassoun Camara (MTL) 39% 

2. Daigo Kobayashi (VAN) 39%


3. Adam Jahn (SJ) 12%


4. Juan Agudelo (CHV) 5%


5. Jamie Smith (COL) 5%
