Concedes one in draw Melia conceded one goal and made one save during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Austin FC.
Impact Melia has conceded four goals in four matches since returning from his chest injury, though he's only conceded more than one goal in one game while winning three and recording one draw. This is a solid record for one of the more consistent goalkeepers in this league, though a defense that hasn't always had a full roster may prevent more chances for clean sheets. Up next is a trip to Portland, which have scored nine goals in seven matches this season.

Keeps clean sheet against Vancouver Melia made two saves and kept a clean sheet in Sunday's 3-0 victory against the Whitecaps.

Starting Sunday Melia made the starting lineup for Sunday's match against Vancouver.
Impact Melia had missed every match so far with a chest issue as John Pulskamp has conceded seven in five starts. With Melia back in goal, SKC will feature one of the better goalies in the league, though the defense is short some of its best options at center-back.
MAY 16, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Still day-to-day Melia (chest) is listed as "day-to-day" for Wednesday's trip to Houston, according to Shaun Goodwin of the KC Star.
Impact Melia isn't expected to start over John Pulskamp but could easily make the bench. Depending on how Pulskamp does and how Melia recovers, a change in starter could occur by Sunday's match against Vancouver.
