Kemar Lawrence - Creates two chances in loss Lawrence made two clearances, an interception and created two chances in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against Orlando City. He also won one of one tackles in the match.
Impact Lawrence has started six of Minnesota's seven MLS matches at left-back this season, only missing out on the draw with the Whitecaps during the March international window.

Sang-bin Jeong - Takes shot in first start Jeong took a shot on target and created a chance in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against Orlando City. He also made an interception and won one of one tackles in the match.
Impact Jeong made his full MLS debut on Saturday, doing his best Emmanuel Reynoso impression in attacking midfield against Orlando while Robin Lod pushed out to the right wing.
APRIL 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Mender Garcia - Creates three chances in loss Garcia took a shot and created three chances in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against Orlando City. He also won one of one tackles in the match.
Impact Garcia returned to the starting lineup up front Saturday in place of Luis Amarilla, and he was dangerous with his passing despite another home defeat for his side.
APRIL 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Robin Lod - Key playmaker in loss Lod recorded three shots (zero on goal) and two chances created in Sunday's 2-1 loss against Orlando City SC.
Impact Lod was Minnesota's key playmaker on Saturday but he was let due to poor execution from his receiving teammates. His play initiated the moves that led to United's goal and he missed two good opportunities to get on the scoresheet himself. The Finn always has a high work rate in midfield but he has still failed to deliver an assist or score in his five appearances.
APRIL 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
D.J. Taylor - Places three shots in loss Taylor registered three shots (zero on goal) and three crosses (one accurate) in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Orlando City SC.
Impact Taylor was active in driving forward from his defensive position to help contribute to the Minnesota attack on Saturday. He placed three shots, executed three crosses and is one of the brighter lights in United's weak defensive line. The right-back has contributed to one clean sheet from five starts.
APRIL 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Hassani Dotson - Delivers first assist in loss Dotson assisted once to go with one cross (one accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Orlando City SC.
Impact Dotson was very mediocre on Saturday in Minnesota's midfield. His assist was a placed cross for Bongokuhle Hlongwane to complete. He was subbed after 73 for Franco Fragapane to probably try and improve Minnesota's performance. He is not a regular starter (three starts from seven appearances) and has not distinguished himself this season. This was his first assist and he is yet to score.
APRIL 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Bongokuhle Hlongwane - Scores in loss Hlongwane scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal) and two crosses (one accurate) in Sunday's 2-1 defeat against Orlando City SC.
Impact Hlongwane was Minnesota's most dangerous attacker and playmaker on Saturday. His goal was a tap-in from a well placed Hassani Dotson cross. The South African should have netted more given the opportunities presented to him but he could not capitalize on them. The regular starter has now scored two from six starts (0.3 per game).
APRIL 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Dayne St. Clair - No saves in loss St. Clair had no saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Orlando City SC.
Impact St. Clair was poor on Saturday, he did not manage to save any of the shots he faced on-target. The match was indicative of his performance this season, from six starts he has conceded six (1.0 per game), delivered two clean sheets and managed just 9 saves (1.6 per game, 60%, currently one of the poorest in the MLS). It's unlikely his statistics will improve in Minnesota's next game against the Seattle Sounders. The Sounders have scored in each of their last four matches.
