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.

Laborda has started and played the full 90 minutes in six successive league fixtures.

The right-back posted a season-high six tackles won, solidifying his position as the squad's second-best player in that regard with an average of 2.5 tackles (1.2 won) per game. He'll likely stay in the starting lineup after performing well in his latest five matches and scoring a goal in the only one of those contests he came on as a substitute.

Six crosses against Minnesota Laborda generated two shots (zero on goal), six crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 0-0 draw versus Minnesota United.

Impact Laborda contributed to Vancouver's defensive solidity, effectively marking Minnesota's forwards and intercepting passes. His positioning and anticipation helped limit Minnesota to just four shots throughout the match. Laborda's composure under pressure was key in maintaining the clean sheet and bringing offensive impact, as he had two shots and attempted six crosses on Wednesday, both season highs for the defender. This was his first start since late March after returning from his hamstring injury, and a promising one, since he played the whole game.
