It’s been a fantastic start to the 2017 season for Martinez as he found his goal scoring touch throughout March, which lands him the Player of the Month honor. The forward scored five goals in three appearances, including a hat-trick against Minnesota United.
Martinez has been a potent threat for Atlanta and was absolutely clinical in his finishing. There were multiple instances where the Venezuelan got in behind the defense and showed the composure and control to score. His speed and one v. one skills have been deadly.
In total, the striker has scored a total of nine goals for Atlanta when the preseason is factored in.
