Impact Roldan was extremely active going forward on Saturday, and he scored his first MLS goal since June by reacting to his own rebounded shot. He's been tasked with replacing Obed Vargas (back) in defensive midfield recently and this was definitely the most dangerous in attack he's been from the position so far.

Crosses six in loss Roldan (illness) had three shots (one on target), two chances created and six crosses in Saturday's 3-0 loss against Portland.
Impact Roldan was back in the XI Saturday in his usual spot after missing one match, likely with COVID-19. His numbers don't stand out on the right wing with three goals and four assists in 16 appearances, but he's a constant threat and gets chances every match.

Impact Roldan missed last weekend's win over Toronto FC while in the health and safety protocols, and he is facing a fitness test to be able to return on Saturday. Dylan Teves replaced him on the right wing last weekend and could do so again if necessary versus Portland.

Impact Roldan returned from international duty Saturday and was a dangerous presence on the right wing, but he wasn't able to break the deadlock. He has two goals and two assists this season but he hasn't added to that tally in more than a month. He'll want to end that drought next weekend against Sporting KC, which have conceded 28 times in 16 MLS matches, the second-worst record in the Western Conference.
