LA Galaxy midfielder Emmanuel Boateng has been voted Major League Soccer Player of the Week by the North American Soccer Reporters (NASR) for the eighth week of the 2016 MLS season.
Boateng earns Player of the Week honors for his performance in the Galaxy’s 5-2 win over Real Salt Lake Saturday at StubHub Center. The Ghana native recorded the game-winning goal and two assists in just his second-ever MLS start.
With LA and RSL tied at 1-1 in the first half, Boateng recorded his first assist of the season on Mike Magee’s goal in the 26th minute.
