Quiet outing Saturday Navarro recorded two shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Real Salt Lake.

Impact Navarro had one attempt stopped by the goalkeeper in the second half, yet it was an overall disappointing performance for him in the defeat. His production of two goals over his last six MLS appearances reflects a dip from his blazing start to the season, though that remains enough for him to stay atop Colorado's scoring chart. Regular minutes in a No. 9 position could eventually allow him to make the most of the limited opportunities his side generates.

Suspended for Saturday Navarro is suspended and will miss the next match against Houston, according to the league's availability report.

Navarro had been a regular contributor to the team's offense before his suspension, and his return will be important for the team's scoring chances. Navarro's discipline has been a concern in the past, and he will need to work on that aspect of his game to become a more reliable player.

He is up to five goal contributions already this season, averaging one per match.
