Cristian Espinoza - Six crosses in loss Espinoza generated one shot (zero on goal), six crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Vancouver Whitecaps FC.

Impact Espinoza, typically, found himself at the heart of the San Jose attack Saturday, though he was unable to generate a goal contribution in the 0 - 2 loss to Vancouver. The veteran playmaker led the attack with six crosses (one accurate). Through 28 starting appearances in 2024, Espinoza has attempted 280 crosses (75 accurate) and taken 142 corners. These opportunities have resulted in 10 assists for the precision passer, his most in a season since 2019, his first with San Jose.

Tanner Beason - Energetic defensively Beason registered three tackles (one won), eight clearances and one interception in Saturday's 2-0 loss against Vancouver Whitecaps FC.

Impact Beason's high-octane work rate was on full display Saturday as he led the team with eight clearances and two blocks while also making an interception and three tackles (one won). Beason has only started two of San Jose's most recent five MLS matches. Over that span, he's made an astounding 19 clearances. The veteran defender has not logged a goal contribution through 23 appearances (14 starts) in 2024.

Daniel - Nine saves in loss Daniel registered nine saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-0 defeat versus Vancouver Whitecaps FC.

Impact Daniel faced the most shots on target (nine) Saturday he has faced in his three matches since a long-term hamstring injury and recovery sidelined the keeper for 21 league matches. He made two saves and was credited with a single clearance. Daniel's most likely next challenge will come in the form of a midweek tussle at Lumen Field versus the Seattle Sounders who scored four versus a 10-man Columbus Crew in their most recent match.

Carlos Akapo - Returns versus Whitecaps Akapo (lower body) is in the starting lineup in the weekend matchup against Vancouver Whitecaps.

Impact Akapo was sidelined from the previous nine league games due to the injury, but he regained enough fitness to play Saturday. He'll likely appear in a defensive role, looking to improve on his averages of 2.8 clearances, 2.8 tackles and 1.8 interceptions per contest.

Daniel Munie - Out against Whitecaps Munie (lower body) is out for Saturday's trip to Vancouver, according to the MLS injury report.

Impact Munie isn't an option for Saturday's trip to Vancouver, as he is dealing with a lower body issue. He's gone the full 90 in each of the last two matches and will be a noticeable absence in the starting XI. The defender could be replaced by Tanner Beason in the first team.

Impact Gruezo was the lone San Jose player who was booked in this 2-1 defeat, and the Ecuador international will be unavailable for league action until the Seattle clash on Sep. 18. Losing Gruezo is a big absence for San Jose, as the holding midfielder has been a starter in all but one of his 19 league appearances this term.

Amahl Pellegrino - First assist of season in loss Pellegrino assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 defeat versus Minnesota United.

Impact Pellegrino provided his first assist of the season in the Earthquakes' only goal, but it wasn't enough to secure a result. Pellegrino won an aerial duel in the box which helped him set up Ousseni Bouda. This was his 14th chance created of the season which led to his first assist.

Ousseni Bouda - Scores first goal of the season Bouda scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Minnesota United.

Impact Bouda scored the equalizer in the 33rd minute but it wasn't enough to help his side to a result. He scored his first goal of the season from two shots, both of which he was able to get on target. It was the first time this season that he has got two shot on target in the same game.

Daniel - Four saves but concedes two Daniel registered four saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-1 loss against Minnesota United.

Impact Daniel made four saves in consecutive games, but it wasn't enough to help his side to any points. This was only the Brazilian's sixth game of the MLS season, which a hamstring injury has disrupted. His previous game was his first clean sheet of the season and this was the third game of the season where he has made at least four saves.

Daniel Munie - Logs nine clearances in win Munie made nine clearances and helped his team to keep a clean sheet during Saturday's 2-0 win over Real Salt Lake.

Impact Munie had one of his best performances of the year, dominating against opposing forwards and making great reads to rack up a season high in clearances. That's now 23 over the last four starts for the center-back, who looks more than consolidated as a full-time starter after starting the campaign as a reserve.

Ousseni Bouda - Takes three shots in win Bouda had three shots (one on target) during Saturday's 2-0 win over Real Salt Lake.

Impact Bouda made his first start of the year with both Jeremy Ebobisse (upper body) and Preston Judd (not injury related) out and made most of the chance, putting up a decent display up front. Although he didn't score or assist, the forward may have delivered enough to be considered for more significant playing time moving forward.

Daniel - Keeps clean sheet in return Daniel made four saves and kept a clean sheet during Saturday's 2-0 win over Real Salt Lake.

Impact Daniel had already played at Leagues Cup since recovering from the hamstring injury that made him miss most of the season and did great in his league return, providing safety between the posts to keep his first clean sheet of the year. The goalkeeper will hope this performance helps him cementing his place in the starting XI and up next for him is Saturday's clash against Minnesota.

Jackson Yueill - Logs assist in win Yueill delivered an assist, had one shot on goal, created two chances and made four clearances and one interception during Saturday's 2-0 win over Real Salt Lake.

Impact Yueill was once again a strong presence in the middle of the park but this time his biggest contribution came on offense as he assisted Cristian Espinoza for the goal that paved the way for the win in the 20th minute. This was the first appearance on the scoresheet of the year for Yueill, who is rarely a factor for fantasy purposes due to his defensive-minded role.

Amahl Pellegrino - Scores in win over Real Salt Lake Pellegrino scored a goal off three shots (two on target), created one chance and made two tackles during Saturday's 2-0 win over Real Salt Lake.

Impact Pellegrino had a great first half here, appearing at the right place to pick up a rebound off the post and double his side's lead in the 33rd minute and being involved in other dangerous plays. However, the winger couldn't keep up with the strong play after halftime, which ultimately led him to be subbed off midway through the final frame. After scoring his sixth goal of the season and the first since May, Pellegrino will hope to put to rest any doubt about his status as a starter.

Impact Espinoza added another great performance to his account, scoring his team's first goal, taking the free kick that led to the second and filling the stat sheet as usual. This has been another stellar campaign from the playmaker, who has four goals, 10 assists, 72 chances created (second-most in MLS) and a league-high 267 crosses over 26 starts.
