For the 11th match of this MLS season for TFC, the victory was decisive at BMO Field, securing 3 points at home, following Bernardeschi's outstanding performance. He ended his scoring drought this season and contributed significantly to Toronto FC's home win.

The MLS has highlighted Bernardeschi's outstanding performance in the match between Toronto FC and FC Dallas, where he stood out after contributing to 2 goals and 1 assist in The Reds' 3-1 victory. Bernardeschi is nominated for Player of the Week, however, the competition is tough for him to win this award.

The MLS nominees for this Week

The nominees for this award are Lionel Messi (5 assists and 1 goal), Luis Suarez (3 goals and 1 assist), and Surridge (2 goals). At the moment, the favorite candidate to win this recognition is the World Cup champion Lionel Messi, whose performance was notably outstanding in a match where he was involved in practically all of his team's goals.

Federico's achievements must be recognized, with his statistics being out of this world. After playing 90 minutes on May 4th, he managed to contribute 2 goals, 1 assist, a 79% pass success rate (38/48), 13 recoveries, and 5 duels won, leaving a fantastic contribution to Toronto FC's victory.

Sitting in 3rd position in the Eastern Conference of the MLS, TFC is consolidating as one of the best teams in the championship so far, enjoying a positive streak of 3 consecutive victories in the competition. Above all, there has been a remarkable improvement compared to the last 2 seasons in the MLS, where failures were noticeable. Now, it's time for a new hope for John Herdman's squad.
