Impact Abada would give Charlotte their second goal of the match before Atlanta's eventual comeback, with the forward finding the back of the net in the 45th minute.

Rotational role for 2025 Abada made 18 starts in 34 appearances, including the playoffs, during the 2025 season.

Creates chance Abada had three crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-0 victory over FC Cincinnati.

Impact Abada created one chance and sent in three crosses, but was unable to get on the scoresheet in a tightly-contested match. The forward has plenty of upside, but has been playing on the left side of the midfield, which limits his goal chances in some matches. Abada remains a strong attacking option in any formation moving forward.

Picks up thigh injury Abada is out for Saturday's match against Atlanta due to a thigh injury, according to the MLS injury report.

Impact Abada is heading to the injury report for the time being after he suffered a thigh injury over the week. He did start in their last outing, so this will force a change while he is out. That said, Kerwin Vargas will likely take his time on the right flank until he returns.

Impact Abada had his creative effort rewarded when he pulled a ball back for Pep Biel to open the scoring in the 56th minute of the weekend clash.

He'll aim to stay ahead of his positional rival Kerwin Vargas, although there could still be some rotation in the future.
