He created two chances for the first time since March 8 as he started along Crew newcomer Daniel Gazdag for the first time.

Five shots Saturday Rossi had five shots (two on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus New York City FC.

Impact Rossi had another productive statistical match, but he failed to record a goal contribution in his fourth consecutive game. Following the departure of Cucho Hernandez during the offseason, Rossi was pegged as the focal point of Columbus' potent attack, but that has yet to materialize. Although he continues to be very active on the attack -- he took a season-high five shots Saturday -- the entire Columbus attack has struggled as of late, only scoring two goals over the last four matches. Rossi and the rest of his team will need to step it up in order to get Columbus back to the top of the Eastern Conference.

He scored a header assisted by Steven Moreira just before halftime to take the 3-2 lead, then doubled that lead in the 50th minute with a strike assisted by Malte Amundsen. Following Columbus' sale of Cucho Hernandez, Rossi is set to be the Crew's go-to attacker, and he fit that role very well in the opening match of the season.

He converted his penalty in the shootout, but it was not enough to avoid elimination from the playoffs.
