Alex Bono - Concedes three in loss Bono registered one save and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-2 defeat against Orlando City SC.

Impact Bono managed to turn away just one of Orlando FC's four shots on target Saturday as DC United fell 2-3.

With teammate Tyler MIller sidelined with a shoulder injury, Bono should continue to see his name on the team sheet for the foreseeable future. DC United will next travel to take on a floundering New York FC attack that has managed just nine goals in eight matches played.
