Starts in playoff loss Djitte made a clearance and won one of one tackles in the 3-0 defeat against LAFC in the Western Conference Final.
Impact Djitte's 2022 got off to a very rocky start and it really seemed like he was on the outs when he was sent off for a huge lapse of judgement against Nashville in early September. But he scored a hat trick off the bench in his first game back from the ensuing suspension and then started in four of Austin's last six games of the season including playoffs. The 23-year-old will hope to continue this resurgence in 2023 as he will battle Maximiliano Urruti for the starting striker spot.

Scores goal against Dallas Djitte took three shots and scored a goal in Sunday's 2-1 victory over FC Dallas in the Western Conference semifinal.
Impact Djitte opened the scoring from a corner kick on Sunday, his first goal since scoring a hat trick against RSL in mid-September. This was his third start in roughly the last month, but prior to that his only previous start this season came all the way back in March. He is likely to return to the bench in favor of Maximiliano Urruti up front for next weekend's Western Conference Final against LAFC.

Sends perfect to the moon Djitte took two shots (two on target) and created two chances during the 1-0 loss to Minnesota United on Saturday.
Impact Djitte started his fourth consecutive match of the season, but he could not find the net. The striker had the perfect opportunity at the end of the match and he sent it sky-high. Unfortunately, Djitte does not provide the value needed outside of his goals, thanks to his low shot volume. Until he can start scoring more or producing more peripherals, he is nothing more than a boom or bust option.

Another sub appearance Djitte logged three minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 2-1 loss to LAFC.
Impact Djitte has entered all four of his appearances for Austin as a substitute and still has yet to take a shot. This doesn't bode well for his chances of getting a start any time soon, but he has a long contract to work with and will surely get his chance eventually.
