Columbus Crew defender Jonathan Mensah has been rewarded for his excellent form in the last round of matches in the Major League Soccer(MLS) as he has been named in the Team of the Week.

The Ghanaian center back was the hero for the Crews in the MLS game against Atlanta United over the weekend as he scored the only goal in the game to hand his side all the three points.

It appeared the game was heading for a stalemate but, Zelarayan curled in a corner kick which headed to the back post by Hairson before the former Black Stars defender glided home in the 65th minute.

That was the only goal in the game as Mensah whose primary job is to  prevent goals at the back helped steady the backline for a precious win.

Mensah had not scored for Crew since 27th July 2018 when he opened the score in his side's 3-2 win over New York Red Bull.

His performance has been rewarded with a team of the week appearance in the MLS.
