Nets off bench Russell scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal), two crosses (one accurate), and one corner in Wednesday's 1-1 tie to Minnesota United.

Impact Russell came off the bench for the final 33 minutes of Wednesday's draw and scored the equalizer. The right-winger has been a consistent part of the Kansas City first team though he's having one of his worst seasons since joining the club. Russell has yet to earn an assist in 2022, a disappointing return considering his brilliance in 2021. Next up is a Sunday trip to Salt Lake on short rest where Russell will likely return to the starting XI.
