Josef Martinez: I Don’t Remember When I’ve Scored a Goal Like That

Atlanta United pulled off their second ever comeback road win on Sunday to clinch its playoff position for the fourth time in five years. If it wasn’t for the fact that Josef absolutely deserved to be in the title of this article, Gonzalo Pineda’s quote described Martinez’s Goal of the Year-contender best, “One of the most beautiful goals I’ve seen.”

Atlanta stepped out onto the pitch on Decision Day, though, and initially looked admittedly terrible against FC Cincinnati. The first half saw the worst team in the league go up by one, while the Five Stripes just looked lazy.
