Three Cosmos Players Named to NASL Team of the Week

Published Sep 13, 2017

New York Cosmos defender, Ayoze, midfielder, Javi Márquez, and forward, Pablo Vranjicán, were named to the NASL Team of the Week for Week 7 of the 2017 Fall Season.

Late goals by Vranjicán and Márquez helped the Cosmos earn a point in the road matchup against Miami FC on September 6. A low-struck volley by Márquez in the 81st minute set up Vranjicán, whose flick inside the six-yard box made the game square at two goals apiece. The Spaniard then got on the scoreboard himself, neutralizing Miami's third goal two minutes into second half stoppage time with a right-footed blast from inside the box into the lower right corner of the net.

Ayoze, who played a key role in the build-up, provided a simple pass that found Márquez for the Cosmos' third goal of the night.

Vranjicán earned his first TOTW award this year, Ayoze got his third, and Márquez – his fourth.

The Cosmos will host Jacksonville Armada FC at MCU Park on Sunday, September 17 at 5:00 pm. Tickets are on sale now. For more information, click here.
