Makes return Saturday Palacio (knee) played one minute off the bench in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Austin.

Questionable for Saturday Palacio (knee) is questionable ahead of Saturday's match at Houston, Caleb Turner of KSL.com Sports reports.

Scores equalizer against Dallas Palacio scored a goal off his lone shot after coming off the bench during Saturday's 3-3 draw against Dallas.

Impact Palacio was brought in the 70th minute as his team's last attempt to change the course of the game and it worked better than expected as the holding midfielder found room to go up the field and become the hero for his team with a very well-placed finish from just outside the box to draw things level at 3-3 deep into stoppage time. This was the first goal of the season for Palacio, who was already coming off assisting on the previous game, so it's safe to say he should keep getting significant playing time during upcoming matches.
