Philadelphia Union's big win over the Toronto FC netted a pair of players on Major League Soccerā€™s Team of the Week for Week X, the league announced on Thursday afternoon with both Sergio Santos and Daniel Gazdag getting the honors.

Gazdag had a breakout performance netting his first goal with the Boys in Blue with a calm finish in the 33rd minute from the penalty spot. Gazdag also picked up his second assist of the season earlier in the match, delivering a perfectly placed corner kick that connected with Jakob Glesnes.

Santos too had a strong night, drawing the PK that was finished off by Gazdag. After netting a hat trick the last time the Union faced Toronto FC in 2020, he picked up yet another goal with a flick over the keeper in the 36th minute to send the Union faithful inside Subaru Park to their feet.

Philadelphia Union continues a busy August schedule when they travel to Eastern Conference leading New England Revolution on Sunday evening. Kick off is set for 6 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on PHL17 as well as on PhiladelphiaUnion.com.
