For the second consecutive week, Almiron claims MLS Player of the Week honors. The Paraguayan has been in fine form as of late and has scored five goals in his last two appearances.
After a less than stellar start, goal scoring wise, Almiron has risen to the occasion. Before his last two appearances, the midfielder had only scored in one other match against Minnesota United in week two of the season.
In total, Almiron has scored seven goals and provided four assists for Atlanta. He leads the team in goal scoring as they continue to press on despite the loss of Josef Martinez.
