Impact Roldan scored his first goal of the 2024 campaign as Seattle bullied Montreal Saturday to the tune of a 5-0 defeat.

Roldan has been traditionally deployed as a fullback, but has found himself in Seattle's midfield more often than he has to this point in his career. As a result, and early on, Roldon is on pace for 56 chances created in 2024, drastically exceeding his 38 chances created in 2023.

Whips in 11 crosses Roldan recorded one shot (zero on goal), 11 crosses (one accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Austin FC.

Impact Roldan was key to Seattle's effort to provide service from the wing during Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Austin FC. Roldan attempted 11 crosses (one accurate) and took four corners while contributing defensively with five tackles (four won) and an interception. Over his first two matches, Roldan has now attempted 15 crosses (one accurate) and six corners. After not recording a corner in his previous six seasons with Seattle, Roldan has now seemingly taken over as one of Seattle's first choices when taking a set piece. The new role for Roldan should allow him to improve upon his assist total from 2023 when he recorded just two assists over 32 appearances (31 starts).
