Gives up one goal Monday Garcia recorded no saves and allowed one goal in Monday's 1-0 loss versus Valladolid.

Impact Garcia didn't have a lot of work Monday, and it's safe to say he was unfortunate on the sequence that led to Valladolid's lone goal, as Raul Moro's shot was deflected and left him out of position.
