Impact Gal didn't see much action during the first half but suddendly things changed for him as he saw the opposition scoring twice in a three-minute span just before the hour mark to get back in contention. The goalkeeper wasn't at fault for either goal but the fact that he didn't make a single save definitely hurt his fantasy output.
