Julian Carranza and Daniel Gazdag filled up the box score and Union record books last month but only one can be selected as the Independence Blue Cross Player of August. Voting is now open for the next 24 hours to be sure to head over to our Instagram to cast your vote.
This month's battle is a tight one and might come down to personal preference with each bagging six goals and added four assists. Each scored a hat trick with Carranza becoming the first Union player to score multiple hat tricks but also joins Cobi Jones as the only players in Major League Soccer History to score two hat tricks against the same team in a single season.
Meanwhile Gazdag's hat trick against the Colorado Rapids pushed him even closer to the single-season scoring record which he officially surpassed with his goal against Atlanta United FC on the final day of August.
