After helping extend Philadelphia Union's unbeaten road form, Daniel Gazdag has been selected for Major League Soccer's latest Team of the Matchday.
The Union's all-time leading scorer earned the honor after helping lead the Boys in Blue to a 3-0 road win at New England Revolution on Saturday evening. The Hungarian's eighth career multi-goal game for the club started two minutes into the second half as Gazdag put home a second chance ball. Homegrown duo Nathan Harriel and Jack McGlynn combined on the right side of the attack with a nifty passing combination that provided the Union right back space to deliver a cross into the box. Mikael Uhre timed his run perfectly to the near post and redirected the volley off the post that fortunately bounced right into the path of the Hungarian at the back post. Taking a soft touch to compose himself, the midfielder slotted it through a trio of New England players to make it a 2-0 advantage for the Union.
The lead became three in the 80th minute, with Gazdag bagging a brace off another rebound finish in front of the net. This time, it was Sullivan who took the first shot, receiving a quick pass from Gazdag that bounced off of Ivacic’s gloves and into the path of Gazdag, who settled then powered it for his second goal of the night.
Philadelphia Union concludes its May road schedule next weekend as they make the trip south to take on Charlotte FC. Kick off is set for 7:30PM ET with coverage on MLS Season Pass on Apple TV.
