Impact Martin collected a fortunate deflection in the 47th minute and buried it to give Racing their second goal the match, breaking a six-game stretch without a direct contribution since joining the club. His 93 percent pass accuracy from 72 attempts was the clearest expression of his value as a distributor, and the chance he created added to an all-around involved performance in possession. The one concern worth flagging is a drop-off in defensive work over the last two matches, as his tackle numbers have fallen noticeably, which raises the question of whether he's being asked to press less or simply finding fewer opportunities to win the ball in the current system.
