He finished up with one goal, two assists, 38 crosses (13 accurate), and 76 tackles in 42 matches, contributing to nine clean sheets.

He has appeared 25 times (six starts), logging 12 shots (one on target), 13 chances created, 29 crosses (12 accurate), and 15 tackles.

Impact Martinez had a respectable showing and led his team in key passes, but he also turned the ball over five times and couldn't capitalize on a major chance on a defensive miscue, opting to shoot from a difficult position and getting denied by Ederson, rather than feeding a teammate.
