TAMPA, Fla. – The USL Championship announced its Team of the Week for Week 10 on Tuesday and, for a second straight week, Birmingham Legion FC star Enzo Martinez finds his name among those honored for his performance in a 1-0 win over the Tampa Bay Rowdies last Saturday.
The veteran midfielder proved to be the difference in his club’s 1-0 victory with a 68th minute goal at Al Lang Stadium to push his scoring streak up to three consecutive matches. Martinez did a little bit of everything against the Rowdies despite having just 26 touches on the ball with 5 of his 14 passes occurring in the final third, four fouls won and four tackles, in addition to his match-winner.
Indy Eleven defender Aedan Stanley was voted the Championship Player of the Week presented by Konami eFootball after recording the first two-assist game of his career and helping lead Indy to a 3-1 victory against Miami FC on Sunday night to extend the club’s current undefeated run.
The Championship’s Player of the Week is selected by the USL National Media Panel, which is made up of representatives from each media market in the Championship.
