Today, the USL Championship announced that Republic FC’s Luis Felipe is nominated for Fan’s Choice Goal of the Week for Week 6. Voting is open now at USLChampionship.com through Friday, April 21 at 9:00 a.m. PT.
Sacramento’s third score of the night resulted from an excellent build-up as the club worked the ball up the right flank. After defender Jared Timmer took possession in Sacramento’s defensive half, the club’s midfielders put the ball at the feet of Jack Gurr to serve a low cross. A near-post run from Russell Cicerone provided Luis Felipe space to move into the penalty area and put the ball through for a great team score and the midfielder’s third goal of the season.
This is Luis Felipe’s first nomination for the weekly league honor this season. In 2022, he won the vote for Week 18 Goal of the Week and July Goal of the Month after heading through an equalizer in the final seconds against rival Oakland Roots SC at Heart Health Park.
Fans can register to vote now at USLChampionship.com or on the USL App. Voting is open now through Friday, April 21 at 9:00 a.m. PT.
