Credited with assist in loss Manu Garcia assisted once to go with three crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 2-1 loss against New York Red Bulls.

Impact Garcia delivered the assist that led to Calvin Harris' goal in the second half, and he's been one of the most reliable playmaking alternatives for Sporting KC. The Spaniard has one goal and three assists this season, but he recorded three goal contributions (one goal, two assists) in his last three outings off the bench before the World Cup break.

Scores in comeback victory Garcia scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Austin FC.

Impact Garcia scored a massive goal Saturday, a strike in the 79th minute assisted Shapi Suleymanov which tied the match at 1-1 before Stephen Afrifa scored the winner just three minutes later. It was his second straight match coming off the bench and he recorded a goal contribution in both appearances. It was the only shot he took in his 26 minutes on the pitch, but it was all he needed to make a sizable impact.

Provides spark off bench Manu Garcia assisted once to go with zero corners and three chances created in Wednesday's 3-1 victory over Los Angeles Galaxy.

Impact Manu Garcia shrugged off multiple challenging defenders Wednesday to provide the perfectly weighted ball that assisted Kansas City's final goal in their 3-1 win over Los Angeles. The appearance marked his first substitute appearance of the campaign after making 11 successive starting appearances. Through 12 appearances (11 starts), Manu Garcia has created 21 chances.

Six crosses in heavy defeat Manu Garcia had one shot (zero on goal), six crosses (two accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 5-0 defeat versus Chicago Fire.

Impact Manu Garcia's six cross attempts (two accurate) led a hapless Kansas City attack Saturday as they fell in a 5-0 road loss. The appearance marked the midfielder's ninth consecutive starting appearance to begin the campaign and his eighth 90 minute shift. Manu Garcia has created 16 chances overall with just one assist to show for his effort.

Single shot in loss Garcia registered one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Friday's 3-0 defeat versus Vancouver Whitecaps FC.

Impact Garcia took a shot and a corner during Friday's loss, but did little else during a comprehensive defeat. The team as a whole failed to put a single shot on goal, so it's hard to take much away from this match other than that SKC could hardly touch the ball going forward. There should be some more manageable matches ahead for Garcia.

Fit to start Friday Garcia (knee) is in the initial lineup for Friday's match against Vancouver Whitecaps.

Impact Garcia avoided a serious issue following some injury concerns before this game. He'll consequently retain his spot as part of a three-man midfield, leaving Jake Davis among the substitutes. Having failed to score but logged one assist in seven MLS appearances this year, Garcia could be reliable for playmaking output given his role as a set-piece taker.

APRIL 17 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful with knee issue Garcia is questionable for Friday's clash against Vancouver Whitecaps due to a knee issue, according to the MLS player status report.

Impact Garcia's status is uncertain, but if he can't go, Jake Davis will likely start in his place, and Magomed-Shapi Suleymanov will gain increased set-piece duties. The Spaniard's physical issues had been a recurring problem last season, but he has started in each of the first seven league games of 2026. He delivered one assist from 14 chances created over that period.

Assists in road win Manu Garcia assisted once to go with four chances created, three crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 2-1 win versus Los Angeles Galaxy.

Impact Garcia created Dejan Joveljic's opener just before halftime with his first assist in the campaign. The midfielder led Kansas City with a season-high four chances created during the win. He also sent in the most crosses for his side.

Four crosses Saturday Garcia generated four crosses (two accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Columbus Crew.

Impact Garcia recorded four crosses Saturday, including two accurate crosses. He also took four corners, providing solid production despite not being involved in either of his side's goals. He's had a strong start to the season with five chances created, seven crosses and seven corners through two matches, so he's bound to provide an assist sooner or later.

Thrives as playmaker in 2025 Garcia recorded two goals and six assists in the 2025 MLS season.

Aside from being one of the team's primary playmaking threats, Garcia also posted solid peripheral stats, such as 44 chances created, 56 crosses, 20 corners and 30 tackles. This was an excellent debut in the MLS for Garcia, who should remain as a key player in midfielder for SKC in 2026.
