Josef Martinez wins MLS Goal of the Week

Josef Martinez can't stop scoring right now, and fans around the league are watching. The Venezuelan's powerful header to take the lead over NYCFC this weekend has been named the MLS Goal of the Week for Week 15.


With the scores still knotted at zero, Darlington Nagbe found Julian Gressel with a bit of space near the sideline just past midfield. The German curled an laser-focused curling cross from way out, bamboozling the defender and landing it on Josef Martinez's head. The Venezuelan had plenty left to do but was up to the challenge, smacking the header down into the turf and bouncing it over the outstretched hand of Sean Johnson in the NYCFC goal.


The stunning header captured 70 percent of the vote this week, with the second place finisher ending up with 14%.
