Winger Leo Fernandes, the New York Cosmos’ leading goal scorer through three games, is up for the NASL Play of the Week.
Fernandes has been a great addition to the team’s offense, not only helping to set-up some great plays, but also providing a great touch around the cage as well. The Long Island native netted the second goal in the team’s home opener against Tampa Bay on April 18.
Other Week 3 nominees:
- Atlanta Silverbacks forward Shaka Bangura’s sidewinding strike against Carolina
- Indy Eleven midfielder Sergio Peña’s miracle goal from the edge of center circle against San Antonio
- FC Edmonton midfielder Ritchie Jones’ calm finish against Fort Lauderdale (with an outstanding individual effort from fellow mid Sainey Nyassi)
- Fort Lauderdale Strikers goalkeeper David Meves’ back-to-back stops against the Eddies
