ImpactBond will be disappointed to have allowed Sam Nicholson to score in stoppage time Saturday and rob him of a first MLS clean sheet since July, but the big victory was important in that the Galaxy are now back in the playoff spots with a game in-hand over most of their Western Conference rivals. Next weekend he will face bottom-of-the-table San Jose in the Cali Classico.

ImpactCaceres once again started in central defense on Saturday and he set up a Raheem Edwards goal against Colorado, although Caceres' pass didn't have much to do with the eventual strike. It is unclear whether manager Greg Vanney views Caceres as a starter over Sega Coulibaly or Derrick Williams at the moment, but there's only three games left in the regular season to find out.
