Sporting KCScores in comeback victory
Garcia scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Austin FC.
Analysis: Garcia scored a massive goal Saturday, a strike in the 79th minute assisted Shapi Suleymanov which tied the match at 1-1 before Stephen Afrifa scored the winner just three minutes later. It was his second straight match coming off the bench and he recorded a goal contribution in both appearances. It was the only shot he took in his 26 minutes on the pitch, but it was all he needed to make a sizable impact.
Provides spark off bench
Manu Garcia assisted once to go with zero corners and three chances created in Wednesday's 3-1 victory over Los Angeles Galaxy.
Analysis: Manu Garcia shrugged off multiple challenging defenders Wednesday to provide the perfectly weighted ball that assisted Kansas City's final goal in their 3-1 win over Los Angeles. The appearance marked his first substitute appearance of the campaign after making 11 successive starting appearances. Through 12 appearances (11 starts), Manu Garcia has created 21 chances.
Six crosses in heavy defeat
Manu Garcia had one shot (zero on goal), six crosses (two accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 5-0 defeat versus Chicago Fire.
Analysis: Manu Garcia's six cross attempts (two accurate) led a hapless Kansas City attack Saturday as they fell in a 5-0 road loss. The appearance marked the midfielder's ninth consecutive starting appearance to begin the campaign and his eighth 90 minute shift. Manu Garcia has created 16 chances overall with just one assist to show for his effort.
Single shot in loss
Garcia registered one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Friday's 3-0 defeat versus Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
Analysis: Garcia took a shot and a corner during Friday's loss, but did little else during a comprehensive defeat. The team as a whole failed to put a single shot on goal, so it's hard to take much away from this match other than that SKC could hardly touch the ball going forward. There should be some more manageable matches ahead for Garcia.
