Assists in win
Musa assisted once to go with four shots (one on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-1 win against Real Salt Lake.
Analysis: Musa finds the scoresheet again during the win over Salt Lake Saturday. He's been having a stellar season, recording 10 goals with two assists through 11 league appearances, creating 15 chances while totaling 20 shots on target.
Scores goal in win
Musa scored one goal to go with five shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 2-0 victory against New York Red Bulls.
Analysis: Musa lived up to expectations in his return from a minor injury, notching his 10th goal in as many games with a right-footed finish in the 54th minute. After producing more than three shots for the sixth time this season, the forward could look to extend his momentum in upcoming fixtures now that he's fit and likely to enjoy significant playing time. He's currently tied with Hugo Cuypers as the top scorer in the competition following an impressive start to the campaign.
In starting XI Saturday
Musa (lower body) is in the starting lineup to face New York Red Bulls on Saturday.
Analysis: Musa's return to the initial squad means he'll have solid offensive potential against one of the league's weakest defenses. Despite missing one game through injury, the striker remains the joint top scorer in the competition with nine goals in as many games. His inclusion in the lineup limits Logan Farrington and Nicholas Simmonds to backup roles this time.
Subbed off injured

Analysis: Musa was forced off in the 70th minute of Wednesday's clash against Minnesota due to an apparent injury and will undergo further tests in the coming days to determine the severity of the issue. If his absence is confirmed, Logan Farrington is expected to start up front in his place.
