He took five shots during his time on the pitch, including a last-gasp equalizing goal from the penalty spot.

Scores in win Stuani scored one goal from two shots (two on goal) during Monday's 3-1 win over Getafe.

Impact Stuani scored on his first start of the season, a good sign with Valentin Castellanos already in top form this early in the campaign.
