Atlanta United forward Josef Martinez was voted the Major League Soccer Player of the Week for the 23rd week of the 2019 MLS season.
Martinez recorded a brace in Atlanta’s 2-1 victory over New York City FC at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday, setting an MLS record with a goal scored in 10 consecutive matches played. With 15 goals over his previous 10 games, Martinez now has 20 goals this season, second most in the league. The 15 goals scored over 10 matches also equals the MLS record for goals scored over that span of games, which Martinez set last season.
