Fires in four crosses Wagner had two shots (both off target), four crosses, two interceptions, two tackles and two fouls in the 2-0 victory over the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday.

The defender is a very aggressive crosser, already logging 26 in only three matches so far this season. It is very likely he will have several more in the next match against New York City.
