The race for silverware, and the Audi 2018 MLS Cup Playoffs, is on, and that was apparent in the Team of the Week presented by Audi for Week 32 of the 2018 MLS regular season.
Seven of 12 playoff slots across the conferences are spoken for, with three teams clinching in Week 32. Meanwhile, the Supporters' Shield contenders, Atlanta United and New York Red Bulls, both won, and both teams unsurprisingly had representatives on the Team of the Week.
