Impact Laborda only created one chance and didn't provide a ton of service but was credited with an assist.

NOVEMBER 23, 2025 • Associated Press

Sent off Saturday Laborda was sent off with a straight red card in Saturday's matchup versus FC Dallas.

Impact Laborda was forced to commit a last-man foul to prevent the opposition's scoring chance, which cost him his exit from the game and a consequent suspension for the first postseason fixture. That situation will put an end to the defender's run of 15 MLS starts and could leave the team with few center-back choices if Tristan Blackmon (knee) remains on the sidelines alongside Ranko Veselinovic. In that case, midfielder Ralph Priso will likely be deployed in defense.

The key goal marked the fifth of the campaign for the potent central defender. More characteristically, he recorded seven clearances and one block in support of Vancouver's defensive effort. Laborda has started and played the full 90 minutes in six successive league fixtures.

Impact Laborda created just one chance during Wednesday's draw, but set up a goal with that chance.

Laborda should remain a consistent contributor for the closing stages of the regular season and playoffs.

Joins scoring party Laborda scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 7-0 win versus Philadelphia Union.
