Petar Musa - Scores against San Jose Musa scored one goal to go with four shots (one on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 3-2 victory against San Jose Earthquakes.

Impact Musa once again showcased his instincts inside the box, beating a defender to a cross and converting from close range in the 49th minute of the win. The striker increased his 2026 season total to 12 goals, remaining in a tie with Lionel Messi for second in the competition behind Hugo Cuypers. The Dallas No. 9 has registered a goal or assist in four straight matches while averaging 3.5 shots per game over that stretch.

Sam Sarver - Scores off bench Saturday Sarver scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 3-2 win versus San Jose Earthquakes.

Impact Sarver beat the goalkeeper with a right-footed finish in stoppage time, emerging as the late hero of the match after coming on as substitute. Despite recording limited minutes in every game, he has made the score sheet with each of his three attempts over the last four MLS contests. That efficiency has him sitting as the team's third-best scorer and could open up rotational opportunities on the right wing, where Joaquin Valiente is currently enduring a dry spell.

Patrickson Delgado - Scores goal in win Delgado scored one goal to go with five shots (three on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-2 win versus San Jose Earthquakes.

Impact Delgado opened the scoring less than a minute into Saturday's game, placing his strike just inside the near post. Additionally, his five shots qualified as a game- and personal season-high mark. He lined up alongside Petar Musa up front, returning to the starting lineup after being limited to to just 11 minutes across three matches since early May. Now with two goals on the campaign, Delgado could find more consistency if he manages to sustain this uptick in form.

Jonathan Sirois - Saves penalty against San Jose Sirois registered five saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 3-2 victory over San Jose Earthquakes.

Impact Sirois could not be blamed for the goals allowed, but he did come up big by denying Beau Leroux from the spot to keep his side from falling behind in the final minutes of the first half. It was the goalkeeper's season debut, as he took over the starting spot from Michael Collodi. If the adjustment sticks moving forward, the Canadian could receive a longer look to display his skills for a team that has found clean sheets hard to come by.

Ousseni Bouda - Sends in 22 crosses in loss Bouda recorded one shot (zero on goal), 22 crosses (three accurate) and 11 corners in Saturday's 3-2 loss versus FC Dallas.

Impact Bouda's heavy crossing output Saturday stemmed from both his dead-ball responsibilities and his advanced positioning down the right flank. While he can't be expected to log that many deliveries in every game, he could remain active in a playmaking role with his team needing to redistribute set-piece duties as the main taker Niko Tsakiris (groin) faces a long absence period. In any case, the wide player remains with five goals and one assist over 14 matches in the current MLS campaign.

Beau Leroux - Scores, misses penalty in loss Leroux scored one goal to go with four shots (three on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-2 defeat to FC Dallas.

Impact Leroux fired a stunning volley to level the scoring in the 18th minute of this game, but his performance was later marred as his penalty kick was denied by the goalkeeper near the end of the first half. Still, he posted a season-high mark in shots after 13 matches played. With a defensive midfield duo of Ian Harkes and Ronaldo Vieira deployed behind him, Leroux enjoyed more freedom to attack than in previous appearances, and he also led his team with five tackles for a strong all-around output.
