Impact Elliott was heroic on defense against New York City on Saturday, and the center back was pretty dangerous going forward himself as well. The Union are top of the Eastern Conference in the early going off the back of two clean sheets in a row and next up is expansion side Charlotte FC, which have scored just one goal in three games so far.

Andre Blake - Keeps clean sheet against New York City Blake made two saves and kept a clean sheet in Saturday's 2-0 victory against NYCFC.

Impact Blake kept his second consecutive clean sheet Saturday as his side shut out the defending MLS Champions and moved to the top of the Eastern Conference in the early going of 2022. Next up in a few weeks is expansion side Charlotte FC, which have scored just one goal in three matches thus far in their debut season.

Nathan Harriel - Keeps clean sheet in win Harriel made five interceptions, four clearances and a block in Saturday's 2-0 victory against NYCFC.

Impact Harriel defended well against the defending MLS champions on Saturday, and he should have been credited with an assist for Daniel Gazdag's goal in attack as well. Harriel has displaced Olivier Mbaizo at right back for now, and the 20-year-old is taking this opportunity with both hands.

Julian Carranza - Takes three shots against New York City Carranza took three shots and made a clearance in Saturday's 2-0 victory against NYCFC. He also made an interception in the match.

Impact Carranza was a threat throughout Saturday's game, and he really should have been credited with an assist for his pass to Alejandro Bedoya in the opening goal. Carranza and Sergio Santos are the preferred front two at the moment, but new signing Mikael Uhre (quadriceps) could still challenge for his spot once he's fully available.

MARCH 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Alejandro Bedoya - Scores goal against New York City Bedoya scored a goal and created three chances in Saturday's 2-0 victory against NYCFC.

Impact Bedoya opened the scoring Saturday as his side took down the defending MLS champions relatively comfortably. He already has two goals in four games, which is almost halfway to his personal-best tally of five for an entire MLS season (2019) and he will be looking for more after the international window against Charlotte FC, which have conceded six goals in three matches so far.

MARCH 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Daniel Gazdag - Scores goal against New York City Gazdag scored a goal and won one of two tackles in Saturday's 2-0 victory against NYCFC.

Impact Gazdag netted in his third consecutive MLS game as the Union got some measure of revenge against the team that knocked them out in the Eastern Conference Final just a few months ago. Gazdag is already halfway to his goals total from last season, and he has eight shots (seven on target) and six chances created through four games so far.
