Gets two assists Rusnak assisted twice to go with two shots (zero on goal), eight crosses (two accurate) and six corners in Saturday's 3-3 draw against Colorado Rapids.

Impact Rusnak was a service machine with eight crosses and six corners, getting two assists in the 3-3 draw. If he can be more accurate with his service, he should continue feasting against a Real Salt Lake team which has given up 42 goals across 25 MLS matches.

SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Four shots and crosses Rusnak generated four shots (two on goal), four crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Los Angeles Galaxy.

Impact Even though Rusnak's back-to-back appearances failed to prolong his assist streak, he did log multiple shots on goal in each game, the only time he has done so this season. Out wide, Rusnak has also attempted four crosses thrice across his last four appearances.

SEPTEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Registers most crosses Rusnak registered two shots (two on goal), 10 crosses (one accurate) and nine corners in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus New York Red Bulls.

Impact Rusnak recorded the most crosses in the game, created four chances and also made 34 passes. He displayed an amazing work rate, covering 10 kilometers. He had recorded an assist in each of his last three games, but failed to put up an assist despite creating four chances.

SEPTEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Assist in three straight Rusnak had an assist while taking an off target shot, crossing four times (two accurate) and creating three chances during Saturday's 2-2 draw with Chicago.

Impact Rusnak set up Dejan Joveljic in the 48th minute while leading Seattle in crosses and chances created during the draw. The attacking midfielder has an assist in three straight matches while combining for six shots, nine chances created and 22 crosses over that stretch.

AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE

Credited with assist off bench Rusnak assisted once to go with four crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw against FC Cincinnati.

Impact Rusnak needed only six minutes to make an impact after replacing Antino Lopez, setting up Kossa-Rienzi for Seattle's equalizer in the 83rd minute with a perfect low cross. The assist was Rusnak's sixth of the season, and his introduction provided Seattle with some much-needed creativity during the closing stages. Rusnak has been criticized this season, but don't be surprised if he returns to the XI, as few players on the Seattle roster can deliver the kind of creativity Rusnak brings to the table on a steady basis.

Assists in blowout loss Rusnak assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), six crosses (three accurate) and two corners in Thursday's 5-1 loss to Portland Timbers.

Impact Rusnak assisted Hassani Dotson's header in the 87th minute Thursday, a fairly meaningless goal as Seattle was still down by three following the strike. It marked his seventh goal contribution of the season and he was fairly easily his side's most productive attacker in the blowout loss. He'll hope to help get his team back on track Wednesday at Austin FC.

JULY 17 • Associated Press

Active off bench in loss Rusnak registered two shots (one on goal), eight crosses (one accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 2-0 defeat against Los Angeles Galaxy.

Impact Rusnak came off the bench in the second half as the Sounders attempted a late turnaround. Even though they couldn't get the job done, Rusnak certainly made his presence felt with how involved he was on offense. Look for the veteran playmaker to make an impact -- and potentially return to the XI -- when the Sounders take on LAFC on Sunday in their last game before the World Cup break.

MAY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Converts from spot Rusnak scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal), eight crosses (two accurate) and eight corners in Wednesday's 3-2 victory versus San Jose Earthquakes.

Impact Rusnak leveled the match in Wednesday's 3-2 win over San Jose, stepping up to convert a penalty into the bottom-left corner past Daniel in the first half after a San Jose foul inside the box to pull his side back to 1-1 and halt the momentum created by the visitors' early strike, while adding three key passes and eight crosses. The Slovak playmaker operates as the creative hub in Seattle's midfield, linking midfield and attack through quick combinations and progressive passing, and was central to his side's second-half control that led to both Jesus Ferreira's goal and Osaze Tafari De Rosario's winner. Rusnak has scored three goals and provided three assists across 10 MLS appearances this season.

MAY 14 • Associated Press

Offensive stalwart Rusnak had three shots (zero on goal), 11 crosses (five accurate) and seven corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus San Diego FC.

Impact Rusnak was unlucky to not score or assist given his stat line, and he'll be a key factor in Seattle's attack against a stout San Jose Earthquakes defense in the next match. If he maintains this level of volume and crossing accuracy, the attacker should be able to find one or two holes in San Jose's defense.

MAY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Set to return against SKC Rusnak (hamstring) is "available and ready to go" ahead of Saturday's clash against Sporting Kansas City, according to coach Brian Schmetzer, Jackson Felts of KJR Radio reports.

Impact Rusnak produced two goals and three assists across seven matches played before missing one game with his muscle injury. In addition to his open play output, he's one of the squad's main set-piece takers, so he should have plenty of offensive value when he's back on the pitch. He'll be in contention with Jesus Ferreira going forward.

MAY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Training separately Rusnak (hamstring) has continued to do limited training work while he recovers from his injury, Niko Moreno of Pulso Sports reports.

Impact Rusnak is not fully fit after missing the previous MLS game with a muscular problem, so he'll remain questionable for the next few weeks. The attacker alternated starts and substitute appearances over the last few contests prior to the injury, but he's an important player for the squad, having scored two goals and three assists this year while taking consistent set pieces. Jesus Ferreira is likely to see increased action if Rusnak remains out in the short term.

APRIL 28 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable with hamstring concern Rusnak is listed as questionable for Saturday's match against Dallas with a hamstring injury, per the MLS Player Status Report.

Impact Rusnak is a new addition to Seattle's report with a hamstring issue that has him uncertain for Saturday, coming after he left their last contest early. He's a legitimate fantasy asset when healthy and in the lineup, and a hamstring in questionable territory always carries the risk of a late scratch. He could see the start if deemed fit, with Jesus Ferreira likely to start again if Risnak is out.

APRIL 24 • ROTOWIRE

Goal from penalty spot, two assists Rusnak scored one goal and assisted twice from one shot and two chances created in Saturday's 4-1 win over St. Louis City SC

Impact Rusnak was all over the field Saturday as he played a major role in the win, first finding Cristian Roldon twice in the 22nd and 37th minutes for assists before a goal of his own from the penalty spot in the 49th minute. These mark his first goal contributions since the second match of the season, over a month ago. He is now up to two goals and three assists in seven appearances (five starts) this season.
