[VIDEO PICK: MLS Goals of the Week] Portland's Diego Valeri looks set to garner his third Goal of the Week award with a wonderful left-footed volley against Vancouver, one of five AT&T MLS Goal of the Week candidates from Week 28 action.

The Argentine sprints into the penalty area to meet a perfect cross from Californian Jorge Villafana and slows down just enough to connect solidly for the first goal of a 3-0 win.

Also in the running:

Joao Plata's cracker after a back-heel setup from Ned Grabavoy for Real Salt Lake’s first goal in a 5-1 over Colorado.

A low, 28-yard blast from Colorado’s Jose Mari.

A superb free kick from D.C. United’s Luis Silva.

Red Bull Bradley Wright-Phillips’ powerful close-range finish in full stride – part of his third hat trick of the season.
