Venezuelan forward Josef Martínez is expanding his legacy as a goal scorer in American soccer, specifically in Major League Soccer (MLS), now with the CF Montreal jersey.
Martinez scored a pair of goals once morest New York Red Bulls on Wednesday in Matchday 24 of the league championship and reached 110 goals in his MLS career. He now stands alone as the eighth-highest scorer in the history of the tournament.
The brace from the forward from Carabobo was valuable for the Canadians, who were able to rescue a 2-2 draw once morest the New Yorkers at the Red Bull Arena and remain in the playoff spots in the Eastern Conference.
Another Venezuelan player scored in the same match. It was the young Wikelman Carmona, who put the team from Toro Rojo ahead in the 18th minute of the match.
It is worth noting that Josef Martínez has five goals and three assists in the 2024 MLS season. He had not moved the nets since June 29, when he scored once morest Philadelphia Union in Montreal’s 4-2 victory.
