It was quite the weekend for 16-year-old Atlanta United Academy graduate George Bello. Getting his second-ever MLS start was only topped by scoring his first career goal in MLS in a performance that earned him the Golden Spike. But he's capped it off with another first: he has been named to the MLS Team of the Week for the first time in his career.
Bello didn't just contribute with his goal. He was a constant threat on the left wing, getting into the penalty box four teams and adding a key pass in the attack. And he was lock-down on the other side of the ball, with four tackles, two interceptions and two ball recoveries –– all ranking near the top of the team statistics for the match.
