The breakdown: Josef Martinez’s unprecedented young career in MLS

By strictly looking at his impressive on-field results, you would think Josef Martinez has been in the league for quite a while. But once you hear he accomplished it all within two seasons, that’s when the jaws drop to the floor. The Venezuelan forward is thriving at Atlanta United and that’s why it’s no surprise to see his decision to remain at the club. In honor of his recent contract extension, let’s take a look at his historic numbers from his first two years in Major League Soccer:

0.93 Goals Per Game (All-Time MLS Record)

Since he started his career in 2017 with Atlanta United, the matches have barely been able to keep up with Josef’s performance in front of net – 50 goals in 54 games.
