Impact Atuesta set up Tristan Blackmon's headed goal on Wednesday with a cross, but he couldn't prevent Hassani Dotson's last-minute equalizer for Minnesota. Still, it was Atuesta's second assist in as many games, and he will want to grab another one next week against Sporting KC, which are second in the Western Conference.

Eddie Segura - Out with knee injury Segura is not in the squad for Wednesday's match against Minnesota because of a knee injury.

Impact Segura came off the bench over the weekend likely because of this issue and he's clearly not over it. Prior to the draw against Vancouver, he had started every match of the season. In his place against the Loons, Marco Farfan is again getting a start at center-back.
