Pity Martinez’s blast nominated for MLS Goal of the Week

The first regular season game back from the restart and Atlanta United are returning to some kind of normalcy. Fans may not be allowed into Mercedes-Benz Stadium and a new coaching staff may be a bit weird still, but there’s nothing like a good, old-fashioned online poll to rig.

That’s right. Pity Martinez has predictably been nominated for MLS Goal of the Week. While his first goal was special, it’s his second strike, a left-footed rocket from the top of the box, that has been dubbed worthy of being one of five candidates up for the award.
