Maxwell Woledzi and Prince Osei Owusu have been named in the MLS Team of the Week following their outstanding performances for their clubs on matchday 8. 

The Ghanaian duo played influential roles as Nashville SC and Montreal FC secured important wins over the weekend.

Woledzi produced a solid defensive display as the Eastern Conference leaders kept a clean sheet in the 2-0 success over Atlanta United while Owusu was involved in three goals in Montreal's 4-1 win over New York Red Bulls.
