VOTE: Josef Martinez for MLS Goal of the Week

Time to get voting, Atlanta. Josef Martinez's unstoppable finish against Zack Steffen and the Columbus Crew has been nominated for MLS Goal of the Week.

A vital interception from Julian Gressel set it up, with the German nipping in and swiping possession in midfield to start the counterattack. He played it to Josef Martinez, who powered toward the Crew defenders. Gressel's follow-up run was dangerous and Martinez used it to perfection as a decoy, before a devastating cut back to the left to put the Columbus defense on their heels. His finish was unstoppable though, a left-footed curler that was too hot for Steffen to handle, out of his reach and inside the far post.
