Impact Cleveland was beaten twice in the first half -- both times by Jorge Ruvalcaba -- but couldn't do anything in both one-on-one sequences. Cleveland has started ahead of John Pulskamp in Sporting KC's last five games. However, his fantasy upside has been minimal.

Impact Cleveland almost stopped Cristian Espinoza's penalty kick in the first half and then was only beaten again when Miguel Trauco doubled the opposition's lead with a long-range volley that seemed impossible to save. However, despite not being at fault for either goal, the goalkeeper had a very bad for fantasy purposes due to his low number of saves compared to the shots that went in.
