Enes Unal - Shut down in loss Unal did not have a shot or a chance created and picked up a yellow card in Sunday's 1-0 loss at Barcelona.

Impact Unal had a rough outing Sunday, as he did not manage a shot or a chance created in his 83 minutes of playing time. Barcelona have only allowed six goals in 17 matches this season so it's no surprise he was unable to score, but it was a particularly quiet game for the Turkish forward Sunday. He leads the team in both goals (five) and assists (three), so it seems likely this may have been a one-off game versus the best defense in the league.

He has four goals in 17 appearances this season, good for second best on the team. The Spanish forward has been in great form since the World Cup break, with three goals in his last four appearances.

Impact Soria conceded the only goal of the game Sunday, as he got beat by Pedri in the 35th minute. Conceding just once at the Camp Nou is by no means a poor performance from Soria and the Getafe defense, but not keeping a clean sheet certainly hurt Soria's performance. He has now made multiple saves in 17 of 18 appearances to go along with his six clean sheets. He has a much easier matchup Saturday versus Real Betis who have scored just 19 goals in 17 league matches.
