We may be turning the page on another month of the 2018 MLS regular season, but Week 22 didn't lack in thrills.
Offense dominated, with two hat tricks, and the current MLS Golden Boot leader edging closer to breaking the single-season scoring record, and that was reflected in the Team of the Week presented by Audi.
One team, the Seattle Sounders, had a superb week, with two wins, and as a result have two players on the Team of the Week plus Brian Schmetzer in the coach's seat.
