Christian Benteke's late heroics power DC United | Energy Moment of the Matchday | MLSSoccer.comChristian Benteke has been scoring goals all season for D.C. United. But the Belgian striker pulled off arguably his most dramatic feat yet...
Dayne St. Clair - Gets beaten three times in returnSt. Clair made one save and conceded three goals during Wednesday's 3-2 loss against D.C, United.
ImpactSt. Clair returned to his club after defending Canada during Copa America, but the opposition's welcome wasn't exactly a warm one as the goalkeeper got beaten three times out of four shots on target, nightmare numbers for fantasy purposes. St. Clair, who was already having a rough campaign before joining his national team, will try to bounce back during Saturday's clash against San Jose.

Robin Lod - Delivers assist on WednesdayLod provided an assist, had one off-target shot and made two tackles (one won), one clearance and two interceptions during Wednesday's 3-2 loss against D.C, United.
ImpactLod was having a very quiet performance for his standards but then he came up with a huge contribution in the 80th minute, assisting Teemu Pukki for the goal that momentarily gave his team a 2-1 lead. With six goals and nine assists over 22 appearances, the versatile attacker is enjoying another outstanding campaign with Minnesota.

ImpactPukki was brought in the 73rd minute to replace Devin Padelford and left his mark shortly afterwards, beating the goalkeeper with a powerful right-footed finish into the far post to put his side ahead for the first time. That's now two goals over three appearances off the bench for the forward since he returned from his national team duties.

Hassani Dotson - Logs assist in lossDotson made an assist, had one off-target shot, created two chances and drew three fouls during Wednesday's 3-2 loss against D.C. United.
ImpactDotson wasn't exactly dominant in the middle of the park but those who picked him for fantasy teams were left happy anyway, as he was credited with an assist for his side's first goal, his second over the last three matches. Defense is Dotson's calling card, but he's no stranger with providing support on attacking end, with three goals and two assists to his name this year.

Tani Oluwaseyi - Scores in returnOluwaseyi scored a goal off his lone shot during Wednesday's 3-2 loss against D.C, United.
ImpactOluwaseyi returned from his national team duties and did what he knows best, using a clinical finish in a one-on-one situation to score his team's first goal in the 32nd minute. That's now eight goals and four assists over 16 appearances (seven starts) this season for the forward, whose return is definitely a huge reinforcement for a struggling D.C. side.

Alex Bono - Concedes two in winBono made one save and conceded two goals during Wednesday's 3-2 win over Minnesota.
ImpactBono didn't have much luck here as two of the three shots he faced during the entire match were clinical unmarked finishes from close-range that didn't leave him any chance to make a stop. With three saves and three goals allowed over two starts since recovering his spot in the net, the goalkeeper will try to bounce back during Saturday's clash against Dallas.
