Leads team in crosses
Chancalay had one shot (zero on goal), 12 crosses (two accurate) and six corners in Saturday's 3-1 defeat against Seattle Sounders FC.
Analysis: Chancalay couldn't earn a goal contribution Saturday but would still see some decent work, crossing in a team-high of 12 crosses. This is his first match of the season, hitting double-digit crosses, a decent showing for the attacker. However, he has struggled for time lately, only starting in two of their past seven games.
Scores in loss
Chancalay scored a goal off his lone shot, created one chance, sent in two crosses (one accurate) and drew two fouls during Saturday's 4-2 loss against St. Louis City.
Analysis: Chancalay started for the first time in five games and needed just five minutes to make an impact as he opened the scoring for Minnesota after picking up a brilliant long pass. This was just the fourth goal of the season for the attacker, but the second over the last three appearances, which could be a momentum builder for the final stretch of regular season.
Nets Saturday
Chancalay scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 5-4 loss versus Portland Timbers.
Analysis: Chancalay got on the scoresheet Saturday, adding a goal and chance created during the loss. It's a frustrating game for Chancalay as he was excellent, the entire attack was excellent, but the defense left much to be desired. Chancalay will hope he can build on this goalscoring form in the coming weeks as Minnesota hope to bounce back.
Two shots, no goal
Chancalay had two shots (zero on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Wednesday's 2-1 defeat to Atlanta United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 75th minute.
Analysis: Chancalay would not get back on the scoresheet Wednesday, as both of his shots were off target in the loss. That said, he remains at two goals and three assists this season in 20 appearances (17 appearances). He is only one off his goal contribution tally from last season, likely looking to beat that in his first season with the Loons.
Fails to put shots on target
Chancalay recorded four shots (zero on goal), four crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Real Salt Lake.
Analysis: While Chancalay's effort was commendable, he didn't put a single shot on target. The attacker should have more success in front of goal against Atlanta United if he keeps up this volume, as the side has conceded 34 times so far in MLS play.
Scores opener in 1-1 draw
Chancalay scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal) and three crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 1-1 draw against San Diego FC.
Analysis: Chancalay scored the opening goal a few minutes into the game as Minnesota drew 1-1 with San Diego. This was his second goal of the season and saw him return to the starting lineup, having been on the bench in the previous game. He took four shots in the match for the fourth time this year, putting two shots on target for the fourth time.
Unlucky to get blanked
Chancalay had three shots (three on goal) and four crosses (one accurate) in Wednesday's 2-1 loss versus Sporting Kansas City.
Analysis: Chancalay was clinical with his shots, putting all three on target, and did manage four crosses. Despite this, he didn't get a goal or assist on Wednesday. The attacker could have more success against Vancouver if he keeps this level of efficiency up, as the Whitecaps did just surrender four goals to FC Cincinnati in the last match.
Four shots in Saturday's win
Chancalay registered four shots (two on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 3-2 win against Columbus Crew.
Analysis: Chancalay tied a season high with four shots Saturday, putting two on target. He also recorded four crosses and took two corners, giving him a productive outing despite not being directly involved in any of his side's goals. He completed the full 90 minutes for the third time this season.
