Almirón goal earns MLS Goal of the Week honors

Atlanta's magic #10 has done it again.


Already named in the MLS Team of the Week, Miguel Almirón's goal against Columbus Crew has been voted by the fans as the goal of the week in MLS this week. The Paraguayan received a beautiful pass from Leandro González Pirez, dribbled half the length of the field on his own, and slotted an unstoppable finish through the defenders legs and inside the far post.

This is the third time an Almirón finish has been named the MLS Goal of the Week. The first goal in his hat trick performance against Houston as well as his stunning volley against Minnesota earlier this season earned him the same nomination. This week's goal earned a full 50% of the fan vote, easily enough to beat out second-the place finisher, which ended with 27% of the vote. Anything that makes the Paraguayan star react like this has to be pretty good.

Almirón and the rest of the red, black and gold will be back home at Bobby Dodd Stadium, and would love to get another award-worthy goal past Tim Howard and the Colorado Rapids. Tickets to the game are sold out, but make sure to tune in on FOX Sports Southeast, FOX Sports GO, or MLS LIVE.
