Rafael Romo replaced him in goal against Houston, making his MLS debut.

Impact Fountas was a huge problem to the opposing defense on Saturday, and his shot volume alone was incredible, never mind his two goals. This was already his second brace in his first three MLS starts, and he will be ready for next weekend's clash against Inter Miami, which have conceded 19 times in 10 matches this season.
