Gabriel Pirani - Still on benchPirani registered one shot (zero on goal) in Wednesday's 1-0 loss versus Atlanta United.
ImpactPirani played just nine minutes during Wednesday's loss to Atlanta. The attacking midfielder had his loan to D.C. made permanent during the offseason but he's fallen largely out of favor, only coming off the bench in recent weeks. Pirani's last start came on Apr. 27, and he's showing no signs of pushing his way back into the starting XI.

Dax McCarty - Struggles for impactMcCarty had one shot (zero on goal) in Wednesday's 1-0 victory over D.C. United.
ImpactMcCarty failed to accomplish much of anything during yet another quiet day in holding midfield. The clean sheet is nice but McCarty has failed to hit the ground running in Atlanta as the entire team struggles majorly to start the 2024 campaign. McCarty will hope to bounce back heading into the back half of the season.

Brooks Lennon - Quiet once moreLennon recorded one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Wednesday's 1-0 victory against D.C. United.
ImpactLennon struggled to get on the ball in the attack in what turned into yet another quiet showing. The defender was one of the top offensive options in the backline coming into 2024, but he's struggled, as has the rest of the Atlanta XI. Lennon's pair of chances created are nice, but unless the team can find some better finishing it will be tough for Lennon to reverse his poor early form.

Jacob Murrell - Fires in three shotsMurrell generated three shots (one on goal) in Wednesday's 1-0 loss versus Atlanta United.
ImpactMurrell only appeared for 17 minutes off the bench Wednesday but did his best trying to get D.C. back into the game, as he would take three shots. This was his first match in four appearances recording a shot, and he also only came up one short of tying his season-high for shots in a game.

Mateusz Klich - Whips in incredible 14 crossesKlich had one shot (zero on goal), 14 crosses (four accurate) and eight corners in Wednesday's 1-0 loss against Atlanta United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 46th...
ImpactKlich had one of the better performances of any D.C. player Wednesday, as he would notch three tackles and three chances created while adding on an amazing 14 crosses. His 14 crosses were not only a match-high, but they also gave the midfielder his highest amount for a single game this season.
