Milan Borjan’s reflex stop against the U.S. in January has earned the Canadian goalkeeper the Allstate Canadian National Teams Good Hands Award for save of the year.
The save came in the 42nd minute of a World Cup qualifying game Jan. 30 at Hamilton’s Tim Hortons Field.
With Canada leading 1-0, a Christian Pulisic corner found the head of American forward Weston McKennie. Standing on his goal-line, Borjan jumped straight up and pawed the ball way with his right hand.
The Canadian men went on to win 2-0, taking another step towards World Cup qualification.
The Allstate Good Hands Award, which recognizes the top save by a Canadian national team goalkeeper during international play, was chosen by fans via online voting period Dec. 9 to 16.
