Martinez makes MLS Team of the Week

After putting on another goal-scoring clinic on Independence Day, Atlanta United's Josef Martinez has earned himself a spot on the MLS Team of the Week. Martinez was directly involved in three of the team's four goals, netting two of them himself. The first came from a powerful header after latching on to a Greg Garza cross and the other from a combination with Miguel Almirón then dinking it off the inside of the post for the final dagger.

Other than the inaugural match against New York Red Bulls, Martinez has found the back of the net in every home appearance this season, and his most recent Fourth of July brace was worthy of another Golden Spike from the Atlanta supporters.
