Roland Alberg has made his presence felt in the month of June. The 25-year old from the Netherlands has appeared in four matches in all competitions in June and has racked up seven goals in that span. He was also named MLS Player of the Week for week 16. Now he’s up for Player of the Month.
Alberg recorded his first MLS goal of the season on a penalty kick at Yankee Stadium on June 18 when the Union took on Eastern Conference foe NYCFC. Alberg confidently approached the spot and delivered home the goal.
The fireworks for Alberg came days later when he recorded the second hat trick in Philadelphia Union franchise history in a midweek showdown with Chicago Fire.
