Nice crosses in loss Fagundez recorded two shots (zero on goal), nine crosses (two accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against Orlando City SC.

Impact Fagundez was very creative and active in the frontline once again Saturday against Orlando but couldn't find a goal contribution, just like in his first five league games this season.

He registered nine crosses Saturday, his highest mark this season, and also set a new season high with two shots. He also created at least two chances, just like in his three previous games, showing he has a positive impact in the creative game of his team.
