Brenner Voted MLS Player of the Week Presented by Continental Tire for Week 30
September 12, 2022 - Major League Soccer (MLS)
FC Cincinnati News Release
FC Cincinnati forward Brenner was voted the Major League Soccer Player of the Week presented by Continental Tire for the 30th week of the 2022 MLS season.
Brenner became the fourth player this season and the first in FC Cincinnati history to record at least three goals and one assist in a match. His three-goal performance marked his second hat trick of the season after he scored three goals against New York City FC on June 30. Brenner joins the Philadelphia Union's Julián Carranza as the only players in MLS this season to score multiple hat tricks
Brenner's recognition is his second MLS Player of the Week award of the season. He joins Nashville SC's Hany Mukhtar and the Union's Carranza as the only players to win MLS Player of the Week presented by Continental Tire multiple times in 2022.
The Brazilian forward is the only player in FC Cincinnati history to win the award, after he became the first player to earn the recognition in Week 17 earlier this season.
Brenner has scored 12 goals this season, joining Brandon Vazquez (16 goals this season) as the first two players in club history to score double-digit goals in a season. Brenner's 12 goals are already a career-high, and he now has 20 in his past two seasons with Cincinnati. Among players that entered MLS in 2021 or later, the Brazilian forward joins LAFC's Cristian Arango (30), Austin FC's Sebastián Driussi (25), and the Philadelphia Union's Dániel Gazdag (23) as the only players to score at least 20 goals over that time span.
The MLS Player of the Week presented by Continental Tire is selected each week of the regular season through both media and fan voting in a process conducted by MLS Communications. A panel of journalists from the North American Soccer Reporters (NASR) comprises 75 percent of the vote, while a Twitter fan vote represents the remaining 25 percent of voting. NASR consists of members of print, television, radio, and online media.
