The Colorado Rapids looked to be in a world of trouble when star striker Conor Casey went down with a season-ending Achilles tear, but for one week, a new forward option emerged to dazzle the Rapids and keep Colorado on a playoff path.
Sanna Nyassi notched his first career hat-trick in a mid-week blowout win vs. New York, then drew a penalty in Colorado's 2-2 tie vs. New England. His combined performances earned him SBI MLS Player of the Week honors.
Nyassi edged out a strong field of candidates for this week honors, including Chivas USA's Justin Braun, Sporting Kansas City's Kei Kamara and New York Red Bulls striker Thierry Henry, among others.
What did you think of Nyassi's performance? Who got your vote for SBI player of the week?
