On 27 August 2022, he scored his first career hat trick in the Union’s match against the Colorado Rapids, reaching his sixteenth goal of the MLS season.[9] This propelled him to a top rank (second) among the top scorers in the MLS.[10][11]
Gazdag made his debut for the Hungary national team on 5 September 2019 in a friendly against Montenegro, as a starter.[12]
He scored his first goal, against Andorra, on 31 March 2021.
