Impact Lykogiannis played 69 minutes following a groin injury to Andrea Cambiaso. The replacement eventually scored Bologna's second and last goal Saturday. Should the injured Cambiasso not immediately return after March, Lykogiannis is expected to play a lot more until further notice.

MARCH 7 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Barrow had a decent performance Monday, as he was the only player on the team to record a shot on target. It marks his third straight game (all starts) with a shot on target, after failing to record one in his previous eight matches. He also created one chance and recorded three crosses (one accurate) in his full 90 minutes of action. The major downside to his outing was picking up a yellow card in the 70th minute for a bad foul, his second booking of the season.
