Caleb Wiley - Assists late dagger Tuesday Wiley assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Tuesday's 4-2 victory against Columbus Crew.

Impact Wiley assisted Atlanta's fourth and final goal Tuesday as he set up Thiago Almada's strike in the 88th minute. It marked his fourth assist of the season and just his second since March 18. He will look to contribute again in Columbus in Sunday's crucial game three.

Brooks Lennon - Assists opener Tuesday Lennon assisted once to go with three crosses (one accurate) and three chances created in Tuesday's 4-2 win against Columbus Crew.

Impact Lennon assisted the opening goal of Tuesday's match as his excellent cross in the 38th minute connected with Giorgos Giakoumakis' head to take the 1-0 lead. It marked his 10th assist of the season, adding onto what is already the best campaign of his career. He will look to get the job done on both ends of the pitch again Sunday in Columbus in a win-or-go-home match.

Edwin Mosquera - Scores as sub in win Mosquera scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Tuesday's 4-2 victory over Columbus Crew.

Impact Mosquera scored just three minute after coming onto the pitch Tuesday, a strike in the 83rd minute assisted by Giorgos Giakoumakis to take the 3-1 lead. It marked his third goal as a substitute in his last six matches, an impressive return given he has totaled just 138 minutes over that span. He will look to be a factor again in Sunday's game three in Columbus.

Thiago Almada - Scores dagger goal Tuesday Thiago Almada scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one cross (one accurate) in Tuesday's 4-2 victory against Columbus Crew.

Impact Almada scored Atlanta's fourth and final goal Tuesday, a strike in the 88th minute assisted by Caleb Wiley. It marked his return to the pitch after serving a one-match suspension for a red card in the regular season finale. He has been in excellent form all season and especially recently, as he has four goals and seven assists his last 11 appearances. He will look to continue that hot streak in Columbus for Sunday's crucial game three.

Xande Silva - Scores in Tuesday's playoff win Silva scored one goal to go with four shots (three on goal) and two crosses (one accurate) in Tuesday's 4-2 win against Columbus Crew. In addition, he was given a yellow card in th...

Impact Silva scored a crucial goal four minutes into stoppage time of the first half to take the 2-1 lead into the break. For his goal celebration he put on a Spider-Man mask which unsurprisingly drew a yellow card. It marked his third goal and fifth goal contribution since joining Atlanta United on loan in the summer, and he will look to add to that tally Sunday in the crucial game three in Columbus.

Giorgos Giakoumakis - Dominates in playoff victory Giakoumakis scored one goal and assisted twice from five shots and five chances created in Tuesday's 4-2 win versus Columbus Crew. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 18...

Impact With his side facing elimination Tuesday, Giakoumakis put together his best outing of the season. He scored the opening goal with a header in the 38th minute and then assisted Atlanta's next two goals, first to Xande Silva just before halftime and then to Edwin Mosquera in the 83rd minute to take the 3-1 lead. They marked his first two assists of the season on a season-high five chance created. While it will be a difficult performance to replicate, he will look to carry this momentum into the crucial game three Sunday in Columbus.

Brad Guzan - Concedes twice in Tuesday's win Guzan recorded two saves and allowed two goals in Tuesday's 4-2 victory versus Columbus Crew.

Impact Guzan conceded two goals again Tuesday, but his attack took the pressure off of him with four goals and forced a game three. His defense played much better too, allowing four shots on target Tuesday compared to eight in game one of the series. Guzan and Atlanta now face a win-or-go-home match in Columbus Sunday.

Matheus Rossetto - Taken off injured Rossetto was subbed off due to injury in the 57th minute during Tuesday's 4-2 victory against Columbus Crew, per Dirty South Soccer.

Impact Rossetto has been the key player in the defensive midfield for Atlanta, totaling 19 tackles (11 won) and eight clearances in the last six matches. His status for Sunday's game is questionable, with Ajani Fortune likely to get the start if Rossetto is not fit to play.
