Brian White - Frustrated despite volume White registered four shots (three on goal) and three chances created in Sunday's 1-0 defeat against San Jose Earthquakes.

Impact White had some brilliant volume once again Sunday but was frustrated by the utter heroics of Daniel. The forward is up to 11 goal contributions in 22 appearances and has the volume to truly breakout in the closing stages of the 2023 campaign. White has also had a goal contribution in four of his last five starts.

Sergio Cordova - Three shots Sunday Cordova generated three shots (three on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 1-0 loss versus San Jose Earthquakes.

Impact Cordova piled forward but couldn't extend his goal-scoring streak to three as all three of his shots were stopped. The striker is in good form with two goals in his last three matches but has failed to score in his 15 prior appearances. Cordova has struggled mightily for consistency since making the switch to Vancouver.
