It was a rough start for Atlanta United striker, Josef Martinez as it took him a bit to get in shape for the season, but once his scoring instinct woke, he was unstoppable.

Martinez is going through a great moment, setting records left and right, besides having a scoring path of 13 games netting a goal, earning him the 'Best Player of the Month' in a consecutive way, as he already received the honor in July.

Josef scored six goals in the five games played in August, a streak it's expected he can keep for September to increase the record he's so far breaking.

The Atlanta United striker is in the fight to be crowned scorer of the season, to repeat what he achieved on the MLS last campaign, a battle that won't be easy as Josef contenders are Carlos Vela, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, with the LAFC captain leading the scoring table with 27 goals, while Martinez adds a total of 23 tied with the LA Galaxy star.
