Six clearances in MLS Cup Final Chiellini generated one tackle (one won), six clearances and four interceptions in Saturday's 2-1 loss against Columbus Crew.

Impact Chiellini played well in Saturday's MLS Cup Final, but it was not enough to stop Columbus from winning the match. He finished the match with six clearances, four interceptions and two blocked shots in his full 90 minutes of action. In his first full season with LAFC he scored one goal and kept seven clean sheets in 25 appearances (21 starts). The 39-year-old Italian legend may have played his final match Saturday, but he also proved that despite the loss, he is still clearly capable of playing at a high level.

Keeps clean sheet in playoff win Chiellini had seven clearancesand two interceptions in Sunday's 1-0 win against Seattle Sounders FC. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 90th minute.

Impact Chiellini kept his first clean sheet since Sept. 21 in Sunday's win to help his team advance to the MLS' final four. He made seven clearances and two interceptions in the match in his third playoff start in four matches. He also picked up a yellow card in the 90th minute, his second booking of the playoffs.

Nets own goal Chiellini generated an own goal, four clearances and two interceptions in Sunday's 4-2 win against Austin FC.

Impact Chiellini put past his own goalkeeper in a disappointing own goal that didn't prove to be costly in a one-sided win. The defender has taken a consistent role in important matches but has been consistently rotated to maintain his fitness in the starting XI. Chiellini should see a good bit of playing time in the playoffs with more to play for.

Creates two chances in loss Chiellini made a block, three clearances and an interception in Wednesday's 1-0 defeat against the Dynamo, and he created two chances in the match as well.

Impact Chiellini has now started back-to-back league games (without lasting the full 90 minutes) since recovering from a lower body injury he suffered in April. With Aaron Long and possibly Denil Maldonado set to miss a few weeks while competing at the Gold Cup, Chiellini could be in for some more starts in central defense, where LAFC loves making use of his long-range passing ability.
