Impact Kounde lost his temper Tuesday and he will now be suspended for the clash against Cadiz on Jan. 3 and possibly for longer if the league deems it fit.

Makes seven clearances in win Kounde kept a clean sheet with seven clearances made in addition to winning two-of-three tackles and conceding a yellow card during Saturday's 1-0 win over Athletic Club.

Impact Kounde is a key cog for a team defense that's kept five clean sheets in the last nine games. That record came close to getting ended as Saturday's opponents hit the post twice, but he still came away with the positive result. He'll now have to test his mettle against Atletico Madrid, which have scored the third-most goals in La Liga.

Wins one tackle in loss Kounde won one tackle and made five clearances during Sunday's 2-1 loss to Real Madrid.

Impact Kounde had kept clean sheets in three of his last five starts before this game and recorded nine tackles in that time.

Keeps clean sheet in win Kounde kept a clean sheet with five interceptions made during Monday's 1-0 win over Getafe.

Impact Kounde did well against a team that doesn't score much but had a better attacking show than was often present last season. As long as he's with Diego Carlos at the heart of the defense, Kounde shouldn't have any issues racking up clean sheets with regularity all season, whether it's Bono or Marko Dmitrovic starting behind him in goal.
