Assists in road loss

Holding assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Saturday's 3-2 loss versus Los Angeles Galaxy. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 31st minute.

Analysis: Holding created Paxten Aaronson's goal in the 39th minute with his first assist in the campaign to double Colorado's lead. The centerback led his side in blocks (three) to help on defense. He also received his third yellow card in 24 appearances (23 starts), though.

Serves ban

Holding has served his one match suspension and is available for the clash with SKC on Aug 15.

Analysis: Holding is expected to return to the starting lineup after the League's Cup break, having already anchored Colorado's back line with 14 starts in 15 appearances. In that stretch, he's recorded 39 clearances, 18 interceptions, and 11 blocks while helping secure two clean sheets.
