A late penalty kick saved Sporting KC last Monday against the LA Galaxy, but the fans haven’t forgotten about Jimmy Nielsen.

The SKC goalkeeper won the Save of the Week for Week 25 for his sliding stop on Galaxy star Landon Donovan in the 77th minute of the teams’ 2-2 draw at Livestrong Sporting Park. Sporting rallied from a 2-1 deficit on Omar Bravo’s 92nd-minute penalty kick to earn a crucial point at home.

Nielsen earned roughly 48 percent of the vote, narrowly topping Philadelphia Union veteran Faryd Mondragón, who somehow steered a point-blank header from RSL’s Fabián Espíndola in the 25th minute of the Union’s 2-1 loss at Rio Tinto Stadium last Saturday. Mondragón, who broke his finger during the match and had to be subbed out for rookie goalkeeper Zac MacMath, received nearly 43 percent of the vote.
