Real Monarchs SLC hosted Sacramento Republic FC at Zions Bank Stadium during Week 12 as FW Chandler Hoffman scored the lone goal in the 1-0 victory. The goal also solidified a historic milestone as Hoffman became just the third player in the league’s modern era to reach the 50-goal mark behind Dane Kelley and Jorge Herrera. The strike was enough to solidify a place on USL’s Team of the Week bench for Week 12 as Nashville’s Brandon Allen claimed Player of the Week honors.
The full USL Team of the Week is as follows: goalkeeper Wade Hamilton, (LA Galaxy II); defenders Ayoze, (Indy Eleven), A.J. Cochran, (ATL UTD 2), Mitchell Taintor, (Sacramento Republic FC); midfielders Solomon Asante, (Phoenix Rising FC), Jemal Johnson, (Fresno FC), Omar Gordon, (San Antonio FC) and Santi Moar, (Bethlehem Steel FC); and forwards Ataulla Guerra, (Charleston Battery), Brandon Allen, (Nashville SC), and Steevan Dos Santos, (Ottawa Fury FC).
