A few teams took full advantage in Week 25 of the 2018 MLS regular season, and that was reflected in the Team of the Week presented by Audi.


Both D.C. United and LAFC won two games in the week, while the Seattle Sounders won their huge match in commanding fashion, helping all three teams' MLS Cup Playoffs prospects. The three teams also combined for six players in the Team of the Week 18 for their strong performances.
