Ronaldo Cisneros - Creates two chances in draw Cisneros took a shot on target and created two chances in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Orlando City. He also made a clearance in the match.

Impact Cisneros had a quieter outing against Orlando following his mid-week brace over Real Salt Lake. He led the line on his own on Sunday ahead of two attacking midfielders, but the formation will likely become a front-two once again with Josef Martinez as the other forward.

Luiz Araujo - Creates two chances in draw Araujo took a shot on target and created two chances in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Orlando City. He also made a clearance and won one of one tackles in the match.

He went through a torrid eight-game stretch from mid-May to mid-July, averaging 4.6 shots (1.5 on target) and 2.1 chances created per match, with three goals and an assist in that span.

Josef Martínez - Takes five shots off bench Martinez subbed into Sunday's match against Orlando City in the 60th minute, and he took five shots and created a chance in the 1-1 draw.

Impact Martinez was very active in his half hour on the pitch on Sunday, but it wasn't enough to lead his team to a win over Orlando. He has come of the bench in each of Atlanta's last two games, but he's still likely to return to the starting lineup against the Galaxy next weekend.
