Attempts six shots Luna logged six shots (zero on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one corner during Real Salt Lake's 1-1 draw Wednesday against the Los Angeles Football Club.

JUNE 21 • MLSSOCCER.COM

Two assists in victory Luna assisted twice to go with two shots (one on goal) and three chances created in Wednesday's 4-3 victory against Sporting Kansas City.

Impact Luna supplied the assists for two of the four Real Salt Lake goals Wednesday as they would march on to defeat Sporting Kansas City by a margin of 4 - 3. Included in Luna's repertoire was a sumptuous outlet ball from his own half that split the Kansas City backline and created a one-one-one situation with the keeper. Luna has now started in eight successive league matches. Over that span, he's scored twice and provided three assists.

JUNE 20 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in draw Luna scored a goal off three shots (all on target), created three chances, sent in three crosses (one accurate) and suffered two fouls during Saturday's 3-3 draw against Dallas.

Impact Luna had another productive outing up front, this time scoring his team's first goal by just slotting into the empty net a pass from the right in the 61st minute, starting what would be a great comeback for RSL after a three-goal deficit. That's now two goals and one assist over the last three starts for the forward, who could be set for a breakthrough campaign if able to keep it up over the upcoming weeks.

MAY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Assists in comeback win Luna assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 5-3 win against Colorado Rapids.

Impact Luna was a constant threat in the final third for Real Salt Lake, and the cultured playmaker set up his team's second goal in the 40th minute, unleashing a corner kick delivery that was struck home by Carlos Andres Gomez with a beautiful volley. Luna has started in each of RSL's last three matches, tallying one goal, one assist, five shots and five chances created in that span.

MAY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Nets goal in victory Luna scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two corners in Wednesday's 2-0 win versus Seattle Sounders FC.

Impact Luna's second half goal put the game out of reach as Real Salt Lake defeated Seattle 2-0. The goal was Luna's first since returning from a calf injury at the beginning of May. Overall, Luna has scored twice and provided two assist over 11 appearances (eight starts) to begin 2024.

MAY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Back on bench Luna (calf) is on the bench for Saturday's clash with Kansas City.

Impact Luna is back on the bench for Saturday's match, after missing two weeks with a calf injury. The winger has been a consistent piece of the first team, and a starter, more often than not. Fidel Barajas has done well in his place but Luna will likely start once more when fit.

MAY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Out to face Union Luna is out for Saturday's match against Philadelphia, according to the MLS injury report.

Impact Luna will not be an option for the weekend, as he has been ruled out after picking up a calf issue against Chicago in the club's last match. He has started in six of his eight appearances this season, so this will force a change, with Fidel Barajas likely taking his place. Luna's next chance to return will be against Sporting Kansas City on May 4.

APRIL 26 • ROTOWIRE

Scores late as substitute Luna scored a goal while taking two shots (one on goal) during Saturday's 4-0 win over Chicago.

Impact Luna entered the match in the 56th minute and scored RSL's final goal three minutes into stoppage time. The goal was the first of the season for Luna who had started back-to-back matches entering Saturday's contest.

APRIL 21 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to starting XI Luna had three crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Minnesota United.

Impact Luna made his first start (second appearance) since returning from USMNT duty Saturday, as Real Salt Lake drew with Minnesota 1-1. Real Salt Lake has steadily incorporated Luna into the lineup over the previous two seasons, doubling his number appearances in 2023 from that of 2022. Luna has responded positively to the challenge, as he managed seven goals and one assist over his 26 appearances (17 starts) in 2023. Luna also appears to be adding to the diversity of his game, having already attempted 10 crosses in 2024 after attempting just 22 in all of 2023.
