Impact Rossi once again racked up a plethora of creative stats Saturday despite not recording a goal contribution. He set season highs in chances created (three), crosses (eight), accurate crosses (three) and corners (seven). The only downside to his performance was he did not take a single shot after taking eight (four on target) in the first three matches of the season.

Alexandru Matan - Continues on sidelines Matan (thigh) is not an option for Saturday's match against the New York Red Bulls, according to the MLS injury report.

Impact Matan will remain sidelined for a second straight match, appearing to still be dealing with issues within his thigh. Luckily for the club, this shouldn't have much effect on the team after he only saw a rotational role through the first two contests of the season. This leaves Marino Hinestroza to most likely get the start alongside Diego Rossi in the attacking part of the midfield, with Jacen Russell-Rowe also having a chance, while Matan hopes to get back on the field next week against Charlotte on March 23.
