Sergio Herrera - Concedes three in loss Herrera made one save and conceded three goals during Sunday's 3-0 loss against Granada.

Impact Herrera had a nightmare performance here, being beaten in each the first two shots he faced and then, when he finally made his first save, he saw Lucas Boye volley the ball home off the rebound to set the final score at 3-0. With multiple goals allowed in four of his last six starts, the goalkeeper will try to bounce back during next Sunday's clash against Betis.

Raul Garcia - Takes four shots in loss Garcia had four shots (two on target) and drew two fouls during Sunday's 3-0 loss against Granada.
