'Wow, this is really happening': Two Edmonton teens turning heads with the Vancouver Whitecaps Rayan Ellloumi and Johnny Selemani came from Edmonton's BTB program, and are following in the footsteps of Alphonso Davies
Yohei Takaoka - Allows one Takaoka made two saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Houston Dynamo.
Impact Takaoka conceded a single goal on three shots faced to come away with a draw during Sunday's clash. The goalkeeper has been one of the best in MLS through much of the season, but his form has slipped recently. If he can get back to his best and the Whitecaps defense can get fully fit, Takaoka could immediately go back to producing consistent clean sheets.

Emmanuel Sabbi - Three shots in an hour Sabbi had three shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Houston Dynamo.
Impact Sabbi played an hour during Sunday's match and took three shots while creating a chance. Injuries have limited the wingers first season in MLS, but when healthy it seems like he will have the talent to cause issues for MLS backlines. He has scored five goals and added two assists in his first season in MLS, already surpassing his previous career-high for goal contributions.

Sebastian Berhalter - Three shots in draw Berhalter had three shots (one on goal), six crosses (one accurate) and four corners in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Houston Dynamo.
Impact Berhalter was busy going forward throughout the draw Sunday, he nearly found the back of the net with some speculative efforts and also maintained his role on set-pieces. He's been one of the brightest breakout players this season, though he hasn't lit up the stat sheet offensively. Berhalter remains crucial in the Vancouver starting XI for the back half of the season.

Brian White - Nets Sunday White scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Houston Dynamo.
Impact White found the back of the net to salvage a draw during Sunday's clash, a disappointing point in a match Vancouver wanted all three from. White is one of the best forwards in MLS and since returning from injury has scored three goals and added one assist in five matches. He will continue to be an elite option leading the Vancouver line for the back half of the campaign.

Jonathan Bond - Two saves for draw Bond recorded two saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
Impact Bond stopped two of the three shots that came his way during Sunday's draw, allowing a single goal. He nearly did enough to earn all three points, but in the end he had to settle for a draw. Bond hasn't earned a clean sheet in his last five matches, but he's done enough to earn three draws in the last three matches.

Jack McGlynn - Busy in midfield McGlynn recorded three shots (zero on goal), six crosses (two accurate) and four corners in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
Impact McGlynn was busy throughout Sunday's draw, he popped up for a few shots from distance, as well as maintaining a role on set-pieces. He didn't end up getting much going in the final third, but his volume was still nice, and buoyed his floor. McGlynn should have more room to operate in the coming matches against some more beatable opponents.
