Antonio Sivera - Concedes two in draw Sivera made six saves and conceded two goals during Sunday's 2-2 draw against Osasuna.

Impact Sivera got beaten twice in a seven-minute span in the second half but was still one of his team's top performers as he had multiple interventions that allowed his team to remain in contention. On the other hand, regardless of how many stops he makes during games, it won't be enough for him to separate himself from peers if he keeps allowing multiple goals, something that happened seven times over his last 10 starts.

Impact Martin delivered a pinpoint cross to assist Kike's opener with less than one minute into the game but then couldn't make the expected impact during the rest of the contest, which led him to be subbed off midway through the second frame. A starter in each of the last three matches, the winger will hope his first assist of the year is enough to keep him in the lineup.
