Camilo earns all-star game spot and MLS player of the week honours
VANCOUVER – Vancouver Whitecaps striker Camilo picked up a pair of Major League Soccer honours Monday.
Camilo was named to the MLS All-Star team that will meet Italy’s AS Roma on July 31 in Kansas City. The 24-year-old Brazilian earned his first MLS all-star game selection.
He was among the players chosen after fan balloting.
Camilo, who is in his third season with the Whitecaps and leads the league in scoring with 12 goals, was also named MLS player of the week. The honours came a day after he scored two goals in Vancouver’s 3-1 victory over the Chicago Fire.
He has scored nine goals in his past seven games and helped the Whitecaps move from also-ran status into third place in the Western Conference. The Whitecaps are also the only MLS club that remains unbeaten at home, sporting a 7-0-3 mark at B.C. Place Stadium.
