There were only four games in Week 33 of the 2018 MLS regular season, but there was still plenty of action.
There were four wins across the games, from LAFC's4-2 comeback win in a weather-delayed game against the Houston Dynamo, to D.C. United's late winner in a tight game against FC Dallas. Throw in a consolation win for New England Revolution against Orlando City SC after being eliminated from Audi 2018 MLS Cup Playoffs contention, and a wild rare road win for the Colorado Rapids over Minnesota United FC, and it was an entertaining weekend, something reflected in the Team of the Week presented by Audi.
