Atlanta United’s Ezequiel Barco and George Bello were named to the MLS team of the week Monday for their performances in Saturday’s 3-2 win against D.C. United at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Barco scored a goal on a free kick to give his team a 1-0 lead and added an assist with Josef Martinez’s goal. This is the seventh time this season that Barco, who has career-highs in goals (seven) and assists (six), has been named to the league’s team of the week or to its bench.
Bello scored a goal and helped to lock down D.C.’s Julian Gressel in the win. This is the first time Bello has earned the honor.
