RENO, Nev. — A master-class performance earned Reno 1868 FC forward Mo Thiaw a spot on the USL's Team of the Week on Tuesday.

Thiaw earned his first USL honor after recording his first professional goal in Saturday's historic comeback in Sacramento. 

Thiaw recorded the game-winning goal and an assist after coming on as a halftime substitute to spark 1868 FC’s 3-2 comeback victory against Sacramento Republic FC. Thiaw also assisted Brian Brown in Brown's goal that tied the match up at 2-2. 

Thiaw is now the fifth player to be honored by the USL joining Antoine Hoppenot, Brent Richards, Kevin Partida and Week 6 Player of the Week Danny Musovski.

Thiaw and the rest of Reno 1868 FC head back on the pitch at Greater Nevada Field on Wednesday in the club's Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup second round match against Portland Timbers U-23.

Kickoff is slated for 7 p.m.
