Carlos Sebastian Ferreira Vidal - Scores during game startedFerreira scored one goal with his five shots (one on goal) during the Dynamo's draw Saturday against Minnesota United.

ImpactSebastian Kowalczyk was the Dynamo's primary striker for their first game of July, and he logged an assist then. However, Ferreira was the Dynamo's lone forward Saturday, and he rewarded that decision by logging their only goal. The competition between Ferreira and Kowalczyk continues to heat up, with no clear favorite ahead. However, the former is keeping up well, with five goals across his four games started since March.

Robin Lod - Scores during game startedLod logged one goal with his two shots (one on goal) during Minnesota United's draw Saturday at Houston.

ImpactLod scored from a low cross by Joseph Rosales for Minnesota's lone goal Saturday. The former had not scored during any starts since April 21. But previous and reserve success has helped Lod improve his 2024 goals to six, which equals those he scored during 2022.

Hector Herrera - Logs 14 crosses, seven accurateHerrera logged 14 crosses (seven accurate) and eight corners during the Dynamo's 1-1 draw Saturday against Minnesota United.

ImpactCompared to 2023, assists are coming less easily for Herrera across 2024, with effort unlikely the problem. At least for Saturday, accuracy was not an issue either, considering 50 percent of his 14 crosses then were accurate. Ideally for Herrera, the high quantity and quality continues, bettering his chances of getting more assists.

Joseph Rosales - Quickly in great formRosales logged one assist with his six crosses (two accurate) and four corners during Minnesota United's draw Saturday at Houston.

ImpactAfter beginning his July badly with a missed penalty, Rosales is back in form and rather quickly. He logged at least three accurate crosses and multiple chances created Sunday against the Galaxy. While unable to achieve both Saturday, Rosales excelled nonetheless, particularly from the left flank. One of Rosales' two accurate crosses found its way to Robin Lod, who scored the lone goal Minnesota United recorded at Houston.

Erik Sviatchenko - Finally logs assistSviatchenko logged one assist with his lone chance created during the Dynamo's draw Saturday against Minnesota United.

Impact2024 is Sviatchenko's second year with the Dynamo. Prior to Saturday, he had not logged any goals or assists with the team until then. Sviatchenko recorded an assist to a goal by Sebastian Ferreira, who secured at least one point for the Dynamo on Saturday.

Carlos Harvey - Highly active across 90 minutesHarvey (not injury related) logged two tackles (zero won), seven clearances and five interceptions during Minnesota United's 1-1 draw Saturday at Houston.

ImpactFor more than three weeks, Harvey was with Panama's soccer team as part of the 2024 Copa America. He reported back to Minnesota United by July 8, his first appearance since June. Saturday marked Harvey's first post-Copa game started, something he may log at least a bit more regularly while DJ Taylor (hamstring) is out multiple weeks.
