Creatively busy Lodeiro had two shots (two on goal), five crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus Vancouver Whitecaps FC.

Impact Lodeiro was the same player he always has been, pulling strings from attacking midfield and creating three chances.

The 33-year-old has only missed one match all season but seems to be a far way off from his old self as age starts to catch up with him.

The playmaker will try to help his side bouncing back during Saturday's clash against Dallas.
