Impact Sviatchenko picked up his fifth yellow card of the season late in Wednesday's win as he committed a bad foul in the 87th minute for the booking. As a result, he will be suspended for Saturday's match at Los Angeles Galaxy and will be eligible to return versus St. Louis SC Sept. 16. He had a solid match despite the yellow card though as he kept a clean sheet and contributed one chance created, one interception, five clearances and a blocked shot in his full 90 minutes of action.

Keeps clean sheet in win Sviatchenko made a block, seven clearances and two interceptions in Wednesday's 1-0 victory against LAFC. He also took three shots (one on target) in the match.

Impact Sviatchenko has started three consecutive league games for Houston in central defense, helping his side to back-to-back shutout wins over LAFC this week and becoming a penalty box threat from set pieces on Wednesday. The Dynamo's starting back-line is not a settled unit at the moment, especially while Teenage Hadebe (leg) remains injured, so Sviatchenko could nail down a regular starting spot ahead of the likes of Ethan Bartlow, Daniel Steres and Micael with a few more performances like this.
