EZEQUIEL PONCE NEWS

Leads team in scoring Ponce recorded 10 goals on 81 shots and one assist on 13 chances created in 32 appearances this season with Houston.

Impact Ponce is coming off his first season in the starting role at forward for Houston, coming after he signed with the club last season and only earned 12 appearances. This would lead him to be their leading scorer this campaign with 10 goals, barely hitting double digits with four games to go. He will likely need to see more production next year if he wants to maintain the starting role after missing the playoffs this season, still on contract with the club until 2027.

Leaves with injury in draw Ponce was forced to leave the field due to an undisclosed issue in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Philadelphia Union.

Impact Ponce started as a center-forward but left his place to Duane Holmes before half time. In case he's dealing with a serious situation, the striker will see his eight-game starting run ended and will be unable to add to his tally of seven goals until he can play again. On the other hand, either Holmes or a more direct replacement such as Gabe Segal could get increased playing time in the next few games.
