Keaton Parks - Takes shot off benchParks subbed into Sunday's match against Orlando City at the hour mark and he took a shot on target in the 2-1 victory.

ImpactParks made his third consecutive MLS appearance off the bench Sunday after recovering from an operation to remove a blood clot in his leg that had previously kept him out for three months. He will hope to be fit enough to play a significant role in the playoffs coming up.

Santiago Rodriguez - Takes two shots in winRodriguez took two shots (one on target) and created a chance in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Orlando City. He also made two interceptions in the match.

ImpactRodriguez was solid on both sides of the ball Sunday even though he didn't get on the scoresheet himself in the comeback win over Orlando. His 10 assists this season have him third place in the MLS standings (behind just Diego Fagundez and Luciano Acosta) heading into Decision Day next weekend.

Mauricio Pereyra - Creates four chances in lossPereyra took a shot and created four chances in Sunday's 2-1 defeat against NYCFC. He also made an interception and won one of one tackles in the match.

ImpactPereyra was a big passing threat to New York City on Sunday but his teammates weren't clinical enough with their finishing in order to avoid squandering their second-half lead. Pereyra has set a new personal MLS record with 67 chances created this season, but with two games left he's still one assist shy of his best tally of eight from 2021.

Pedro Gallese - Concedes two goals to NYCFCGallese made three saves but conceded two goals in Sunday's 2-1 defeat against New York City FC.

ImpactGallese was beaten by strikes from Alexander Callens and Talles Magno as his side blew a second-half lead on Sunday. Next up is a mid-week clash against a direct Eastern Conference playoff rival Inter Miami, which have scored 42 goals in 32 matches this season.

Ercan Kara - Records assist against New York CityKara took three shots and assisted a goal in Sunday's 2-1 defeat against NYCFC. He also made a clearance in the match.

ImpactKara headed a long throw-in onto the path of Facundo Torres for Sunday's opener, Kara's fourth direct goal involvement in six MLS appearances since returning from an ankle injury in mid-August. He'll want to continue that form through the final two games of the regular season against Miami and Columbus, as Orlando is still aiming to lock down a playoff spot.

Facundo Torres - Scores goal against New York CityTorres took five shots and scored a goal in Sunday's 2-1 defeat against NYCFC. He also created two chances, won two of two tackles and made an interception in the match.

ImpactTorres bagged his third goal in his last five appearances on Sunday from a long throw-in routine, but Orlando is still yet to clinch a spot in the playoffs heading into Decision Day next weekend. The good news is that the team still controls its own destiny with two games remaining against direct playoff rivals Inter Miami and Columbus, so Torres will have all the motivation he needs to finish the campaign strong.

Sean Johnson - Concedes goal to OrlandoJohnson made zero saves and conceded a goal in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Orlando City.

ImpactJohnson was beaten by a Facundo Torres strike Sunday and he's now without a save in his last three games (though he was still able to keep a clean sheet against the Red Bulls in one of them). He will close out the regular season next weekend against Atlanta United, which have scored 47 goals in 33 matches.
