Falls to bench Elanga served off the bench in their 0-0 draw against Leeds United on Aug. 30 after starting in their opening two games of the season.

Impact Elanga was held to only two shots, two chances created and 15 crosses through his first two starts of the season, a mediocre stat line for 160 minutes of play. That said, he would be relegated to the bench for their next match, seeing 28 minutes of play against Leeds United, with only two crosses in his time on the field.
