TAMPA, Fla. – USL League One today announced the Team of the Week for Week 9 of the 2024 regular season with South Georgia Tormenta FC forward Sebastián Vivas named Player of the Week presented by Konami eFootball with a two-goal, one-assist performance in a 4-0 rout of Chattanooga.

In a rematch of the 2022 USL League One Final, Vivas propelled South Georgia to its third consecutive four-goal performance against the Red Wolves through a brace and an assist. Vivas bagged the Ibises' match-winning goal in the ninth minute, assisted Niall Watson's goal in the 64th minute and completed his first South Georgia brace in the 75th minute.

Just 13 matches into his Tormenta FC career, Vivas has already totaled seven goals and one assist across USL League One, U.S. Open Cup and USL Jägermeister Cup play.

Prior to joining South Georgia on a one-year deal over the offseason, the 27-year-old forward found success in the Argentine lower divisions, scoring frequently for Club Sportivo Dock Sud and Deportivo Español, earning a spot on the Primera B Metropolitana Best XI with the former in 2023.

Vivas joins League One's all-time leading goalscorer, Richmond's Emiliano Terzaghi, as the only Argentine player to be named Player of the Week across the league's six-season history.

"We're delighted Seba has been recognized this week," South Georgia Head Coach Ian Cameron said. "He has brought great spirit to his and his family's adaption to this country and our club, and now on the field, we're starting to see him play with more instinct, more cutting edge. He received some really good service from his team on Saturday and he made the difference."

Of the 10 clubs in action in Week 9, only the five winning clubs earned representation on the Team of the Week. South Georgia and Union Omaha each see five players named to the Team of the Week following a pair of four-goal performances, while Madison and Knoxville also earn representation following a pair of shutout victories.
