Republic FC Midfielder Luis Felipe Named to USL Championship Team of the Week for Week 6
April 25, 2023 - United Soccer League Championship (USL)
Sacramento Republic FC News Release
Sacramento, Calif. - On Tuesday, the USL Championship announced that Republic FC's Luis Felipe was named to Team of the Week Bench for his performance in the club's 1-0 victory over Detroit City FC on April 22. The midfielder contributed on both ends of the pitch to help Republic FC to its seventh straight unbeaten result to begin the 2023 season.
Luis Felipe netted the game-winner for Republic FC, scoring the game's lone goal in the ninth minute off an assist from Russell Cicerone. The goal was his third match-deciding score this season after netting the winner in Weeks 3 and 4 at Heart Health Park. He was also excellent on defense, winning possession for his club five times and tallying four successful one-on-one duels.
The selection is his sixth as a member of Republic FC, and the seventh of his USL Championship career. He last earned Team of the Week distinction in Week 3, when he scored the game-winning goal against San Diego Loyal SC at Heart Health Park. So far this season, Republic FC has been included in the league's weekly top squad in six of seven weeks, with five different players earning the honor.
Republic FC is back in action tomorrow from Heart Health Park in the U.S. Open Cup, facing off with regional rival Oakland Roots SC for the first time this season. Tickets are available at SacRepublicFC.com/tickets. The match will not be broadcast, but fans can follow the club's social channels at @SacRepublicFC for live updates.
