New York RBAssists opener Saturday
Forsberg assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-1 win over Chicago Fire.
Analysis: Forsberg set up the opening goal of Saturday's match, a Jorge Ruvalcaba strike in the 45th minute. It marked his third assist of the season, two of which have come in his last four matches. He also recorded one interception and one clearance before he was subbed off in the 60th minute for Gustav Berggren.
Quiet outing in loss
Forsberg registered two crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 2-0 defeat to FC Dallas.
Analysis: Forsberg made a very limited impact with only a pair of set-piece crosses before being replaced by Nehuen Benedetti in the 66th minute of Saturday's match. Despite scoring one goal and two assists, the Swede has struggled to reach his best level over the first 11 league games of the season. He'll look to improve on his averages of 2.0 shots and 3.0 crosses per contest if he continues to take a few corner kicks while featuring in a central midfield spot.
Two shots on goal
Forsberg recorded three shots (two on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-0 loss against FC Cincinnati.
Analysis: Forsberg entered the fray Saturday for the final 28 minutes and matched a team-high with two shots on goal in New York Red Bulls' 2-0 road defeat to Cincinnati. Albeit in a substitute capacity, the attacker's two shot attempts also marked a season-high. Over his last five appearances (four starts), Forsberg has created 10 chances from nine shots (four on goal), nine crosses (one accurate) and eight corners.
Sets up one of four goals
Forsberg had an assist while taking two shots (one on goal), crossing three times inaccurately and creating three chances during Wednesday's 4-4 draw with DC United.
Analysis: Forsberg set up Jorge Ruvalcaba in the 52nd minute assisting New York's third goal. The assist was the first goal involvement since April 4th for Forsberg as he's combined for three shots, eight chances created and seven crosses over his last three appearances.
