08/19/2008 - San Jose, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - San Jose Earthquakes midfielder Ronnie OBrien was named Major League Soccer Player of the Week on Monday, becoming the first 'Quakes player to win the award this season.
OBrien earned the honor after scoring two goals and notching an assist in San Joses 4-0 victory over the New England Revolution on Saturday.
OBrien opened the scoring for the 'Quakes against the Revolution in the 11th minute. Francisco Lima found OBrien on the right side of the penalty area and he volleyed a shot over Revolution goalkeeper Matt Reis to the far post.
Midway through the second half, he started the play that led to Ryan Johnsons goal with a pass to Scott Sealy at the top of the area. Sealy then backheeled a pass to Johnson, which he put into the back of the net.
In the final minutes of the match, OBrien capped the win with a 25-yard shot into the upper corner for his second goal of the game. It marked the first time in his MLS career that he scored twice in one match.
