TAMPA, Fla. – USL League One today announced the Team of the Week for Week 3 of the 2025 regular season with Richmond Kickers forward Emiliano Terzaghi named Player of the Week presented by Konami eFootball for the fourth time in his career with a brace in Richmond's home-opening victory against AV ALTA FC.

League One's all-time leading scorer and thrice-consecutive Player of the Year brushed off a missed penalty kick early against AV ALTA FC before turning it on in the second half. The 32-year-old Argentine goalscorer delighted the City Stadium crowd of over 5,500 with an improbable match-winning strike from the halfway line before closing things out with a second score 23 minutes later. With his league-record 11th brace for Richmond, Terzaghi became the first player in league history to score 60 regular season goals.

"I feel great right now, but at the start of the game, I missed the penalty, and it hit me very hard. But we worked, the team heard me, and I was able to score after that and I feel great right now with the team win," Terzaghi said. "I saw the space and I tried, that’s the most important thing - to try anything no matter what. I'm here for six seasons and the fans are amazing every year. They show up no matter what happens."
