Joe Willis - Beaten twice against ColumbusWillis registered two saves and allowed two goals in Wednesday's 2-0 loss to Columbus Crew.
ImpactWillis struggled as his team allowed multiple goals for the second straight game. His 0.9 goals conceded per game are still tied for the lowest average in the league, and he has six clean sheets in 17 starts, but recent results have been somewhat disappointing. Up next is a weekend trip to face Portland's fifth-ranked attack.

Cucho Hernandez - Provides assist in winHernandez assisted once to go with seven shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and three chances created in Wednesday's 2-0 victory versus Nashville SC.
ImpactHernandez served a great ball for Christian Ramirez to open the scoring after 30 minutes of Wednesday's clash. The star forward also had an attempt to the crossbar in another extremely active display up front. Despite failing to find the net for the first time in his most recent five starts, he didn't slow down in terms of offensive stats, increasing his numbers to 34 shots (13 on target), 13 chances created, six goals and four assists over that span.

Diego Rossi - Scores goal in winRossi scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal), six crosses (one accurate) and seven corners in Wednesday's 2-0 victory over Nashville SC.
ImpactRossi doubled the hosts' lead after winning a ball inside the box in the 65th minute of this match. Additionally, the seven corner kicks tied his season-high mark, and he took multiple shots for the fourth time in a row. He'll look to keep his excellent performance of the last two months, in which he has stood out with six goals and two assists across nine games.

Christian Ramirez - Scores opener against NashvilleRamirez scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Wednesday's 2-0 win over Nashville SC.
ImpactRamirez finished a set play with a close-range header in the 30th minute of the midweek victory. Other than the goal and shots, the attacker only completed a few passes and won a couple of aerial duels during the match. He's in good form after tallying at least one direct contribution in each of his last six starts, so he's expected to remain one of the Crew's main attacking threats throughout the campaign.
