DANIEL GAZDAG NEWS

Struggles in 2025 Gazdag recorded 23 starts in 29 MLS appearances with Columbus (including the playoffs) during the 2025 season.

Impact Gazdag was traded from the Union to Columbus at the start of the season but struggled to find his form. He managed only four goals and three assists across his appearances with the Crew, eventually losing his starting spot near the final matches of the season. This was a sharp decline from his 2024 performance, when he scored 17 goals for Philadelphia. While this may have been a transitional setback, Gazdag will need to adapt quickly and prove his value if he hopes to reclaim a starting role in 2026.

Scores in season finale Gazdag scored one goal to go with three shots (three on goal) in Saturday's 3-1 win over New York Red Bulls.

Impact Gazdag came off the bench in his second straight match, and this time he made a significant impact with one goal on three shots on target. He finished the regular season (with Columbus) with four goals and three assists across 26 appearances (23 starts) after a very slow start to his Crew career. He will look to make more of an impact in the playoffs, beginning against Cincinnati.

Impact Gazdag opened up the scoring Wednesday with a penalty in the 40th minute. After quite a slow start to his Columbus career he has been much better as of late, providing four goal contributions over the past four matches while starting each of those matches at different positions. He was subbed off in the 83rd minute for Amar Sejdic.

Two assists Saturday Gazdag assisted twice to go with zero corners and two chances created in Saturday's 5-4 victory against Atlanta United.

Impact Gazdag was all over the field Saturday and was able to provide an assist, first finding Diego Rossi in the 17th minute before he linked up with Wessam Abo Ali in the 25th minute. These mark his second and third assists since joining the club and fifth on the season. That said, he has five goal contributions with Columbus and nine in 27 appearances between Philadelphia and Columbus this campaign.

Scores in Saturday's loss Gazdag scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 2-1 loss to New England Revolution.

Impact Gazdag scored his side's lone goal Saturday, a strike in the 71st minute assisted by Malte Amundsen. It marked his first goal from open play since being traded to Columbus in April. After failing to score across his first 15 games with the club, he has now scored twice in his last four matches so he appears to finally have found his form.

Scores first goal with Columbus Gazdag scored a penalty goal, had six shots (one on target), created one chance and drew four fouls during Saturday's 2-1 win over D.C. United.

Impact Gazdag finally scored for the first time since being traded to Columbus after 16 games. Just after the half-hour mark, the attacker converted a penalty suffered by himself to break the deadlock. He kept pushing for another goal, pacing his team in shots attempted, but accuracy wasn't there during the second frame. After putting to an end such a long scoreless streak and scoring for the third time this season, Gazdag will hope to keep adding to his numbers and at least reach double digits in scoring as he did in each of the previous three campaigns.

Three shots, creates three chances Gazdag took three shots and created three chances in Wednesday's 3-0 loss at Nashville.

Impact Gazdag is getting involved on the attacking end, but he has yet to score a goal in six matches since being traded to Columbus. He'll look to make an impact on the scoresheet in a favorable home matchup against D.C. United on Saturday.

JULY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Four shots in Wednesday's win Gazdag recorded four shots (three on goal) in Wednesday's 3-1 win over Atlanta United.

Impact Gazdag set a season high with three shots on target in Wednesday's win, but he could not find the back of the net. He has still not scored through 11 appearances for Columbus despite taking 16 shots (five on target). While the start to his Crew career has been disappointing, a performance like he had on Wednesday is a very positive sign for the remainder of the season.

Impact Gazdag recorded his first Crew goal contribution Saturday, an assist on Diego Rossi's goal in the 23rd minute which took the 2-1 lead. It's been a quiet start to his Columbus career after joining the club in April, but he is learning a new system mid-season so it's not surprising. He will look to build off this success Wednesday versus Atlanta United and onward.

He has scored twice and delivered two assists in nine matches played this year, averaging 1.0 shots and 1.9 chances created per contest in that period. His inclusion leads Jacen Russell-Rowe back to the bench Saturday.

Signs through 2027 Gazdag penned a contract extension with Columbus through 2027, the club announced.

Impact Gazdag made a big move to Columbus from Philadelphia earlier in the season and has now committed his long-term future to the club. The attacking midfielder should be a crucial part of the starting XI throughout his contract and a focal point in the attack.

Late scratch Saturday Gazdag was removed from the starting lineup Saturday versus Charlotte, according to the team.

Impact Gazdag is forced to miss a game for the first time since March 22 after most likely suffering an injury in warmups. The attacker's absence leaves the squad without a regular contributor of passes and creative actions, who has scored two goals and assisted twice this season. His place in the weekend's match has been taken by Jacen Russell-Rowe.

Four shots in first Crew start Gazdag registered four shots (zero on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-0 defeat against Inter Miami CF.

Impact Gazdag made his first start for the Crew Saturday. He took a season-high four shots, but failed to put a single one on target. He also created one chance and recorded one accurate cross in his full 90 minutes of action. It may take him a bit of time to get acclimated to his new club, but once he does he should be very productive.
