Sebastian Blanco made it into MLS Team of the Week for Week 23 after scoring a brace and coming short of repeating another hat trick which the game official awarded it as an own goal.
By scoring the fastest goal of the match with just 13 seconds and later starting the rally that in the end both sides drawing at 4-4, Blanco was involved in all plays at goal and seeing his team share the spoils in Allianz Field.
