Terzaghi Named to the USL League One Cleer Audio Team of the Week

TAMPA, Fla. – USL League One announced on Monday that Richmond Kickers’ forward, reigning league MVP, and reigning Cleer Audio Player of the Month for July 2021, Emiliano Terzaghi, has been named to the USL League One Cleer Audio Team of the Week following a two-goal performance against New England Revolution II in Week 19.

“I appreciate the recognition of the work,” Terzaghi said. “It is always important to help the team in my role.”

This marks the fourth time that the Argentine talisman has been named to the league’s weekly honor. He previously appeared together during weeks 5 and 17 as well as his Cleer Audio Player of the Week nod during Week 13.

“Emi scored a couple of good goals again for us and he continues to deliver when he is needed,” Chief Sporting Officer and Head Coach Darren Sawatzky said. “He is a great model for players with his progressional approach and his consistency in front of goal.”

Hungry to get back on the field after missing the Reds’ most recent trip to Canada because of governmental travel restrictions, Terzaghi led the way on the scoresheet for the Kickers.

The Reds took a lead in the first half after some clever interplay between Nil Vinyals and Matt Bolduc progressed the ball into a dangerous area. Bolduc played in a cross from the left wing as Terzaghi timed his run into the box perfectly and guided the ball into the net.

Terzaghi would double the Reds’ lead shortly after the start of the second half. Receiving the ball in the center of the pitch, Terzaghi progressed the ball up to roughly 35 yards away from goal. He noticed a potential opening and launched a long-range effort that bounced in the six-yard-box, making it incredibly difficult to save because of the wet conditions, and the ball ricocheted off the keeper’s hands and into the net.

The two goals, Saturday night, give Terzaghi sole possession of second place in the 2021 Golden Boot Race as he sits one goal behind Greenville Triumph SC’s Marios Lomis. It also marked Terzaghi’s 20th and 21st USL League One goals. The forward is now tied with former North Texas SC standout Ronaldo Damus for most goals scored in the league’s three-year history.

Terzaghi and the Kickers hit the road, Sunday night, to face off against Lomis and the reigning 2020 USL League One Champs, Greenville. Kickoff is slated for 7:00 p.m. The match will air live on WTVR CBS 6.3 (Comcast 206, Verizon FiOS 466) and streamed on ESPN+. The match will also broadcast live in Spanish on the radio on WULT Ultra 94.1FM/1540AM.
