1. Daniel Gazdag’s unselfishness makes him one of the best players in the MLS
With a hat-trick against Colorado, Gazdag now has 16 goals in the MLS this season to pair with 8 assists. His three goals against the Rapids on Saturday night also tied him for the team’s single-season scoring record, set by former Union forward CJ Sapong in 2017. However, Sapong (now with Nashville SC) did so in 33 games, whereas Gazdag needed just 28 games to get to 16.
But the goals alone are not what makes Gazdag so valuable to this Union team, and perhaps the most valuable player in the MLS.
