The Five Stripes striker bagged both goals in the game making league history and also earned the MLS Player of the Week award, his second of the season and eighth since joining MLS in 2017.

Martinez's two goals against New York see him in second place in the scoring chart with 20 goals in 22 games played this season behind LAFC captain and leader, Carlos Vela.
