After scoring finding the net five times over the weekend in a Supporters' Shield six-pointer, the Philadelphia Union have hit another five-spot on the Team of the Week presented by Audi for Week 20.
Hat-trick hero Sergio Santos and man of the match Kai Wagner both earned starting nods for their efforts in a 5-0 win over Toronto FC on Saturday, while goalkeeper Andre Blake also gets the start mostly for his exceptional mid-week work in Philly's much closer 2-1 win at the New England Revolution.
Kacper Przybylko and Jose Andres Martinez made the bench to round out the five Philly players in the 18. And Jim Curtin was rewarded with the coaching honors after guiding his side to six massive points in what was close to as good a week as is possible in MLS.
Elsewhere, defenders Russell Canouse and Leandro Gonzalez Pirez were rewarded for their important goals in victories that boosted their teams' respective playoff chances. And Maxi Moralez is permitted to occupy his typical No. 10 role after he excelled in emergency deployment as New York City FC's lone forward in a 3-1 win over the Montreal Impact.
Team of the Week (4-3-3, right to left): Andre Blake (PHI) - Russell Canouse (DC), Walker Zimmerman (NSH), Leandro Gonzalez Pirez (MIA), Kai Wagner (PHI) - Diego Chara (POR), Maxi Moralez (NYC), Randall Leal (NSH) - Danny Musovski (LAFC), Alan Pulido (SKC), Sergio Santos (PHI)
Coach: Jim Curtin (PHI)
Bench: Jimmy Maurer (DAL) - Ali Adnan (VAN), Andreu Fontas (SKC), Lewis Morgan (MIA), Jose Andres Martinez (PHI), Kacper Przybylko (PHI), Aaron Schoenfeld (MIN)
