Four corners as reserve Under generated two shots (one on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and four corners in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
Impact Under updated his season high for corners, previously three that he logged in his LAFC debut. Unfortunately for him, his previous two-assist game was not enough to replace fellow right wing David Martinez in LAFC's starting XI, at least for the time being. However, Martinez is without a goal in three appearances, not exactly blistering form that may keep Under's role limited for long.
