Impact Cordova was named to the team sheet for Wednesday's match despite being listed as doubtful for the match. He only appears as an option off the bench, and based on his status coming into the game, it would be a shock to see him touch the field.

Impact Cordova piled forward but couldn't extend his goal-scoring streak to three as all three of his shots were stopped.

Impact Cordova sealed the result for his side Saturday by converting a rebounded Deiber Caicedo strike for his second goal of the MLS campaign, both of them coming off the bench in his last two games. The striker will hope this can kickstart an uptick in form as up until now he'd been struggling since arriving in Vancouver during the offseason.

Nets off bench Cordova scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Thursday's 2-1 win versus Austin FC.
Impact Cordova scored his first goal for Vancouver in an appearance off the bench. The striker has been nowhere near as good as he was for Salt Lake in 2022, with just a single goal and assist in 16 appearances. The forward will hope to build on this and finish an otherwise disappointing season in good form.

Secondary assist in win Cordova generated five shots (two on goal) in Sunday's 3-2 win versus Los Angeles Football Club.
Impact Cordova picked up his first goal contribution of the 2023 campaign after getting a secondary assist on a Ryan Gauld goal. He has had quite an underwhelming season only having the one goal contribution and only nine shots despite being a forward. The 25-year-old got the start in Vancouver's last three matches but has struggled to stay in that role, only earning seven starts in his 13 appearances this season.

Scoreless in rare start Cordova had one shot (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Sporting Kansas City.
Impact Cordova made his fourth MLS start in 2023 but was held scoreless without putting a shot on goal. The striker failed to threaten the Kansas City net and did little with his eight touches of the ball. Cordova sits behind Brian White and Pedro Vite in the pecking order and has failed to accomplish much with his chances in Vancouver. Cordova is unlikely to find anything more than the limited rotational role he's managed so far.

Prior to departing, he scored a tidy goal in the third minute off a cross from Andrew Brody. He also put RSL up 2-0 from the spot in the 15th. Unfortunately for the forward and his squad, because he was subbed off early for rest, he couldn't participate in the penalty shootout (which RSL ultimately lost).
