TEAM OF THE WEEK | Fall Season Week 6

Indy Eleven forward Eamon Zayed, Tampa Bay Rowdies midfielder Joe Cole, and Miami FC defender Jonathan Borrajo were all crucial in their sides earning victories in Week 6. All three either scored goals, assisted goals, or both in the wins and were named to the NASL Team of the Week.

See below for the full list of top performers in last week's action:  

GK: Daniel Vega (Miami FC) – He made six saves to preserve a shutout in Miami FC’s first road victory, shocking Minnesota United, 4-0.

DEF: Jonathan Borrajo (Miami FC) – The veteran defender had three assists in the win against the Loons. He also made five interceptions and won four duels to aid in keeping the clean sheet.

DEF: Steven Miller (Carolina RailHawks) – He picked up an assist on the game-tying goal in the RailHawks’ 2-2 draw. Miller was sturdy on the back line as well, winning 10 duels and four tackles. He also made three clearances.

DEF: Nemanja Vukovic (Indy Eleven) – He scored with a low shot from distance in Indy’s 5-2 win over Jacksonville Armada FC. He then helped Indy earn another win at home, and shutout, with a 1-0 result against Ottawa Fury FC. Vukovic won 10 duels and made nine interceptions and clearances across the two games.

MID: Don Smart (Indy Eleven) – He found the back of the net for the first time in 2016, scoring in dramatic fashion. His stoppage-time goal sent Indy to another home win (the streak is now at seven) to keep the Boys in Blue atop the Fall Season Standings.

MID: Dustin Corea (FC Edmonton) – The Salvadoran international provided the creative spark for the Eddies in their 1-0 win over Puerto Rico FC. Corea created five chances with one resulting in the game’s only goal when his long ball found the head of Tomi Ameobi.

MID: Adam Moffat (New York Cosmos) – The veteran midfielder scored from the penalty spot to help New York earn a 1-1 draw with Rayo OKC. He also was active in the midfield, winning all three of his tackles and making two interceptions and two clearances.

MID: Joe Cole (Tampa Bay Rowdies) – The English star powered the Rowdies to a 2-1 victory. He assisted on Keith Savage’s opener and then scored the game-winner later in the contest against the club’s rival, the Fort Lauderdale Strikers.

FWD: Georgios Samaras (Rayo OKC) – The Greek star found the back of the net in Rayo OKC’s draw and was dangerous throughout his 90 minutes in the contest.

FWD: Eamon Zayed (Indy Eleven) – The veteran Irishman scored three times in Indy’s win against Jacksonville to move his goal tally to 11. It was also his second hat trick of the year, which netted him Player of the Week honors as well. 

FWD: Charles Eloundou (Jacksonville Armada FC) – The Cameroonian international scored his first two professional goals to help Jacksonville earn a 2-2 draw against Carolina.
