Giorgio Chiellini - Nets own goal Chiellini generated an own goal, four clearances and two interceptions in Sunday's 4-2 win against Austin FC.
Impact Chiellini put past his own goalkeeper in a disappointing own goal that didn't prove to be costly in a one-sided win. The defender has taken a consistent role in important matches but has been consistently rotated to maintain his fitness in the starting XI. Chiellini should see a good bit of playing time in the playoffs with more to play for.

Tillman might not have the goal-scoring threat that other pieces of this team brings to the table, but he is a consistent producer on both sides of the ball. Tillman has earned five goal contributions and created 20 chances in 2023.

Cristian Olivera - Nets second goal Olivera scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 4-2 win over Austin FC.
Impact Olivera scored his second MLS goal during Sunday's one-sided win. The winger has started six matches in a row and has shown some decent production in that more limited role.
