ImpactBlake had a solid performance Wednesday as he made six saves, his most in a match this season. Although he conceded a goal and lost the match, the goal was not one he could have done much about. Next up he heads to New York Red Bulls Saturday, a side which has scored 43 goals in 26 league matches this season.

Cucho Hernandez - Secondary assist on match-winnerCucho recorded one shot (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Wednesday's 1-0 win over Philadelphia Union.

ImpactAfter leading his team to another trophy on Sunday in the Leagues Cup final -- a match where he scored two goals and recorded one assist -- Cucho did not start Wednesday's return to the MLS. He was subbed onto the pitch in the 71st minute and just four minutes later set up Max Arfsten who crossed the ball to Yaw Yeboah for the match-winning header. After getting some much-needed rest during the mid-week contest, Cucho will likely return to the starting XI Saturday versus NYCFC.

He scored six goals in five matches in the Leagues Cup, bringing him to a staggering 15 goal contributions in his last 11 matches (not including Wednesday).
