Mauricio Cuevas - Eight crosses, three accurateCuevas logged eight crosses (three accurate) and one corner across 18 minutes during the Galaxy's 2-1 loss Saturday at Chicago. He also received a yellow card.

ImpactAs expected, Cuevas has been a part-time senior player for the Galaxy across 2024. However, his latest appearance does warrant at least some consideration for a better role. Cuevas logged over half of the Galaxy's 15 crosses Saturday and was highly accurate in his endeavors.

Riqui Puig - Successfully converts penaltyPuig scored one goal with two shots (both on goal) during the Galaxy's 2-1 loss Saturday at Chicago.

ImpactAn untimely handball resulted in a Galaxy penalty, which Puig successfully converted. By doing so, he has scored during each of his last three appearances. Puig is only one short of tying his 2023 goal tally, and he could tie it by scoring against Sporting Kansas City on June 15, which would also increase his goal-scoring streak to four games.

Novak Micovic - Concedes two goalsMicovic logged two saves but conceded two goals during the Galaxy's 2-1 loss Saturday at Chicago.

ImpactPerhaps because John McCarthy had under half a week to rest between their previous and latest games, Micovic logged his second start of 2024 by serving as the Galaxy's goalkeeper Saturday. However, he conceded goals from Brian Gutierrez and Hugo Cuypers. Once the MLS returns from a brief respite by mid-June, McCarthy is expected to take his prior position as the Galaxy's primary goalkeeper.

Hugo Cuypers - Logs another goalCuypers scored one goal with two shots (one on goal) during Chicago's 2-1 win Saturday against the Galaxy.

ImpactA mistimed Galaxy clearance left Cuypers one-on-one against goalkeeper Novak Micovic, and the striker made use of his opportunity. For the second time across 2024, he has logged a goal in back-to-back games, a strong output going into the upcoming break.

Maren Haile-Selassie - Active during startHaile-Selassie logged three shots (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one corner during Chicago's win Saturday against the Galaxy.

ImpactHaile-Selassie returned from his previous injury on May 19. After serving as a substitute for the remainder of May, he began June by entering Chicago's starting XI. Haile-Selassie finished the spring with 14 shots (seven on goal), 18 crosses (two accurate) and 10 chances created.

Brian Gutierrez - Excellent goal SaturdayGutierrez logged one goal with four shots (one on goal) and one interception during Chicago's 2-1 win Saturday against the Galaxy.

ImpactGutierrez's lone interception gave him much open space and confidence to launch a long shot that ultimately resulted in Chicago getting its second goal Saturday. By doing all that, he clinched the Fire's first win since April 7. Coincidentally, it was then when Gutierrez logged his last goal, also a game-winner.

Jonathan Dean - Four crosses during startDean logged four crosses (zero accurate) and one clearance during Chicago's 2-1 win Saturday against the Galaxy.

ImpactSaturday marked Dean's first 2024 start during which he attempted more than three crosses. If Andrew Gutman (hamstring) remains out like he was this past weekend, the Chicago team's latest game suggests Dean will continue starting at left-back.
