Through his first 11 appearances, he has already attempted 28 crosses (seven accurate).

Kristijan Kahlina - Keeps clean sheet streakKahlina registered five saves and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Los Angeles Galaxy.

ImpactKahlina turned away all five Galaxy shots on target Saturday, earning a clean sheet as Charlotte drew 0-0. The clean sheet was Khalina's fourth consecutive and league-leading sixth overall in 14 starting appearances. Khalina's six clean sheets thus far in 2024 already match his total from 2023 when he kept six clean sheets over 25 starting appearances. Kahlina will try to keep the streak intact Saturday when a dangerous Philadelphia attack that has scored 10 goals over their most recent five matches visits Charlotte.

Jalen Neal - Energetic defensive performanceNeal generated four tackles (three won) and four clearances in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Charlotte FC.

ImpactNeal led the Galaxy backline Saturday as they recorded a clean sheet in a 1-1 draw with Charlotte. Neal's four tackles (three won) led the team and were a season-high in a single match for the defender. After beginning the season unavailable due to an abdomen injury, Neal has been brought along slowly in his return to action. He has appeared in each of Galaxy's most recent five matches, starting on three occasions. After starting in 14 of 16 appearances in 2023, Neal should be competing for consistent time in Galaxy's backline in 2024.

He made two saves and earned a clean sheet as Galaxy took a share of the points in a 0-0 draw with Charlotte. Micovic appeared twice in 2023 for Galaxy and conceded six goals. Micovic will most likely retreat to the bench in favor of John McCarthy on Saturday when Galaxy face visitors Houston.
