Maxime Crepeau - Allows six goals in Cincinnati Crepeau registered five saves and allowed six goals in Saturday's 6-2 loss against Cincinnati.

Impact Crepeau had a difficult night in Saturday's clash, seeing his goal beaten six times for the second time this year despite his high volume of saves. The goalkeeper has stopped more than three shots in eight of his last 10 appearances since April. However, he remains without a clean sheet during that span as part of the league's weakest defensive unit. His focus now shifts to international duty, where he'll compete with Dayne St. Clair for a place in Canada's lineup at the World Cup.

Kevin Denkey - Scores goal in big win Denkey scored one goal to go with six shots (three on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 6-2 win against Orlando City.

Impact Denkey was a constant threat in this match as he paced his squad with six shots, the most he has recorded in an MLS game this season. One of those efforts was a 77th-minute left-footed finish between two defenders to increase Cincinnati's lead. With nine goals in 14 league appearances, he remains level with Evander atop the scoring chart of a team that is averaging 2.4 goals per game. Additionally, Denkey's high playing time makes him a reliable attacking option in most fixtures.

Tom Barlow - Scores as substitute in win Barlow scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 6-2 victory over Orlando City.

Impact Barlow came off the bench and capped the home side's scoring with a one-touch finish in stoppage time Saturday. The striker now has three goals across his last 52 minutes of league action and is averaging a goal every 115 minutes this season. Those numbers have strengthened his case as a valuable depth option capable of complementing or replacing starter Kevin Denkey when needed.

Kenji Mboma Dem - Scores twice versus Orlando Mboma Dem scored two goals to go with four shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 6-2 victory against Orlando City.

Impact Mboma Dem found the back of the net off an Evander corner kick in the 42nd minute before doubling his count through a clinical finish from inside the penalty area in the 52nd of the win. Operating as one of Cincinnati's two attacking midfielders, he also struck the post and won eight duels in a solid overall display. The 24-year-old has now scored three goals over his last two appearances, and that production should keep him entrenched among the team's leading offensive threats for the next stretch of the season following the World Cup break.

Evander - Involved in five goals Saturday Evander scored two goals and assisted thrice from four shots and nine chances created in Saturday's 6-2 victory over Orlando City.

Impact Evander delivered one of the league's most dominant individual performances of the year, scoring twice on counterattacks, with one left-footed finish from inside the box and another strike from distance with his right foot, while his three assists came from a corner kick and two short passes. He also set new season highs with nine chances created, six accurate crosses and five fouls drawn. His brilliant momentum has lifted him to 15 combined goals and assists on the 2026 campaign, which represents the second-highest mark in MLS behind Lionel Messi's 17.

Ender Echenique - Assists off bench in win Echenique assisted once to go with one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 6-2 victory over Orlando City.

Impact Echenique made an immediate impact after entering in the 83rd minute for Gerardo Valenzuela, setting up Tom Barlow's stoppage-time goal with a cutback pass from the end line. The assist increased the Venezuelan's season count to four in MLS play and five across all competitions. Despite the contribution, his path to a larger role remains unclear after spending the entire month of May as a substitute while Pavel Bucha continues to excel at right wing-back.
