North Texas’ Bernard Kamungo named Player of the Week after standout substitute appearance

TAMPA, Fla. – USL League One announced on Monday the Team of the Week Presented by Cleer Audio for Week 29 of the 2021 regular season, with North Texas SC midfielder Bernard Kamungo named Player of the Week after scoring a pair of goals after coming on as a halftime substitute in a 4-1 win against the New England Revolution II that vaulted NTSC into the playoff positions with one game to go in the season.

With the game level after each side scored in the opening 10 minutes, North Texas was reduced to 10 men just before the half-hour mark when Mark Salas was sent off. Reshuffling his lineup at halftime NTSC Head Coach Eric Quill introduced Kamungo, who made an immediate impact with a goal that put North Texas ahead in the 57th minute despite being down a man. The Tanzanian 19-year-old then put the game to bed with a minute to go with NTSC’s fourth goal of the game, moving the side into fifth place ahead of New England going to the final weekend of the regular season.

North Texas’ victory saw it earn three selections to the League One Team of the Week, which was matched by Forward Madison FC, which took a midweek victory at league-leaders Union Omaha before earning a draw at home to postseason contender FC Tucson on Saturday night.
