Yohei Takaoka - Single save in win Takaoka had one save and allowed one goal in Thursday's 2-1 win over Austin FC.

Impact Takaoka faced a pair of shots and stopped one, doing enough to come away with the win Thursday.

Still Takaoka has made the starting job his own in Vancouver.

Luis Martins - Four crosses Wednesday Luis Martins registered four crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Thursday's 2-1 victory over Austin FC.

Impact Martins sent in four crosses and created a chance for the third match in a row. The defender has been shifted to central defense recently, which hurts his volume going forward in general. As a wing-back Martins is an impressive option offensively, having sent in 75 crosses and created 17 chances in 19 appearances (18 starts.)

Ryan Gauld - Incredible form continues Gauld assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (two accurate) and four corners in Thursday's 2-1 win over Austin FC.

Impact Gauld has now earned 10 goal contributions in his last seven matches and is one of the most in-form players in MLS. The forward was incredibly unlucky in the opening stages of the season and is bouncing back in a huge way as he continues some dominant volume. Gauld is in simply majestic form and has shown why he is a talismanic part of the attack, with 50 chances created and 40 shots in 20 appearances.

Brian White - Hot streak continues White assisted once to go with six shots (zero on goal) and two chances created in Thursday's 2-1 win versus Austin FC.

Impact White assisted Wednesday, his third goal contribution in the last three matches. The forward has caught fire heading into the Summer break, with seven goals and three assists in 2023, and a large portion of those coming in the last five matches. White might not match his excellence in 2021, but he has shown a true bounce back with some major volume after a tough 2022 season.

Sergio Cordova - 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.
