Hollingshead tied Pomykal for the team lead in shots (3) and had twice as many ball recoveries (12) than any other FCD player. Coupled that his his game-winning goal in the 72nd minute, it's hard to deny why the versatile veteran was named to the Team of the Week for the first time since Week 14 in 2018.

Pomykal has already eclipsed his career minutes total in 2019 with now 287 to his name in four matches and came a Keegan Rosenberry goal-line clearance away from his first MLS goal. It's the second time already this season that the midfielder has been named to the Team of the Week (Week 2).
