Brian Rodriguez - Takes four shots in win Rodriguez took four shots (one on target) and created a chance in Saturday's 3-0 victory against the Rapids. He also made an interception in the match.

Impact Rodriguez was active in his side's opening day win over Colorado on Saturday, but he wasn't able to get on the scoresheet himself. He has seven MLS goals to his name across three different campaigns with LAFC, but the 21-year-old will want to take a step up in responsibility this season.

Impact Sanchez's first start for LAFC couldn't have gone much better, as he defended well from midfield and kept the Rapids scoreless in the game. He will want to do it again next weekend against the reigning Western Conference champion Portland.

Jonathan Lewis - Comes off injured against LAFC Lewis was subbed out in the 65th minute of Saturday's 3-0 defeat against LAFC after suffering an injury.

Impact Lewis was replaced by Nicolas Mezquida on Saturday, but he will not have enjoyed his MLS opening day very much as LAFC was already up by three goals by the time he got injured. It is unclear yet whether he will be fit enough to feature against Atlanta United next weekend.

Maxime Crepeau - Keeps clean sheet against Colorado Crepeau made a save and kept a clean sheet in Saturday's 3-0 victory against the Rapids.

Impact Crepeau wasn't as busy as he might have expected to be Saturday against last season's Western Conference top seed, but he starts 2022 off with a clean sheet. Next weekend he will face Portland, which scored 56 goals last year.
