HARRISON, NJ (November 21, 2014) – New York Red Bulls goalkeeper Luis Robles is one of four finalists for the 2014 Save of the Year award for his double stop vs. Seattle Sounders on September 20 at Red Bull Arena.
With his team leading Seattle Sounders FC 4-1 on September 20, Luis Robles came up with a huge double-save to keep his team comfortably ahead in the 69th minute.
Sounders midfielder Marco Pappa took a left-footed shot from outside the 18-yard-box that deflected off Red Bulls’ defender Jamison Olave and changed directions, forcing Robles to go back across his body to make the initial save.
Robles’ save deflected right into the path of Sounders’ forward Clint Dempsey who headed the rebound towards goal, but Robles extended fully to his right to make the second save. Robles finished the season tied for second in the league in saves with 111, including a career high 10 saves against New England on June 8.
