MLS Footnotes: Sporting Kansas City peaking, could challenge New England and Seattle for MLS Cup

Extends point streak to two games Glesnes assisted once, created two chances and made one tackle (one won) in the 2-1 loss to New England on Sunday.

Impact Glesnes was terrific in the loss Sunday. He also did much more than what his stats suggest. The defender has been showing immense offense lately and he continued that here. Glesnes pushed the pace of play from his own third multiple times and it eventually set up the only goal for the Union. He also continued to be a force on the line and he made multiple clearances. Glesnes is starting to bring the whole package and he could become a hot commodity if it continues.

Scores in shutout win Glesnes scored on one of his two shots (one on target), held a clean sheet and added one tackle won and four clearances in Wednesday's 3-0 win over Toronto FC.

Impact Glesnes delivered a brilliant stat line here. He finally snaps his dry spells in major contributions on both sides of the ball and snatches his third goal of the season and seventh clean sheet as he also has one assist from earlier in the campaign and has been a fantasy monster.

Contributes great defense Glesnes recorded nine clearances, four interceptions and four tackles (three won) during a 2-1 win Saturday versus D.C. United.

Impact Glesnes and Olivier Mbaizo both recorded four interceptions and won three tackles Saturday. However, the former supplied more valuable defense by logging a team-best nine clearances.

Scores on both nets in 3-3 draw Glesnes gave up an own-goal, assisted once, created one chance and made one tackle (none won) in the 3-3 draw with Chicago on Saturday.

Impact Glesnes was mediocre at best in the draw Saturday. The defender did very little in terms of defending and he managed to get an unlucky deflection off a cross in the opening minutes off the match that went into his own net. However, he would at least make up for it by setting up the second goal of the game for Philadelphia. Unless you need an abundance of clearances, there are better options from the Philadelphia's backline.

Saves game with rocket goal Glesnes scored one goal from three shots (one on goal) and conceded a yellow card during Sunday's 2-2 draw with Atlanta United.

Impact Glesnes seems to only score impressive goals from distance and he did just that with an equalizing strike so strong it bounced between the crossbar and ground three times before entering the goal. Seeing as this wasn't the best defensive performance for Glesnes, it's a good thing he has this kind of goal in his arsenal of skills when other areas are lacking. With three clean sheets kept in his his last four starts, Glesnes will next face Columbus, which are tied for the fifth-fewest goals scored in MLS.

Active in win Glesnes kept a clean sheet with 10 clearances made and three completed interceptions during Sunday's 1-0 win over D.C. United.

Impact Glesnes has started every match of the season alongside Jack Elliott en route to four clean sheets in seven games. Given his strong play so far, it will look pretty difficult for offseason signing Stuart Findlay to break into the lineup at the moment. For now, Glesnes can feel confident about his form and place in the team heading into Sunday's visit from Portland.
