Records assist in loss Vela took two shots and assisted a goal in Sunday's 5-2 defeat against Colorado. He created three chances overall in the match.

Impact Vela was introduced into Sunday's game at the half hour mark and he was lively against the Rapids, getting his first goal involvement since July. He finishes a disappointing season with five goals and five assists in 20 appearances (15 starts), but didn't make a single start after suffering a quad injury on Aug. 22.
