Creates two chances Wednesday
Farsi had four crosses (three accurate) and two chances created in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to D.C. United.
Analysis: Farsi had a solid outing Wednesday as he recorded a season-high three accurate crosses in the road loss. He also created multiple chances for the fourth time this season.

Assists opener Sunday
Farsi assisted once to go with four crosses (two accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 3-1 loss versus New England Revolution.
Analysis: Farsi helped Columbus get off to a strong start Sunday as he set up Brais Mendez's goal in the 8th minute. It was one of two chances he created in the match, the third time this season he's created multiple. He has now recorded four goal contributions this season, all of which have come in his last seven appearances.
Scores in Saturday's loss
Farsi scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 3-2 defeat to Nashville SC.
Analysis: Farsi scored his first goal of the season Saturday, a strike in the 58th minute assisted by Malte Amundsen. It was the only shot he took in the match and he was subbed off the pitch immediately after for Brooks Lennon. He now has three goal contributions this season, all of which have come in his last six appearances.
Creates three chances Saturday
Farsi had two crosses (one accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Inter Miami CF.
Analysis: Farsi made his fifth consecutive start Saturday and marked the occasion with a season-high three chances created. He came into the match with just three chances created in his previous eight appearances. Although he and the defense conceded a pair of goals, the squad held the elite Miami attack to just four shots on target throughout the 90 minutes, a potential sign of improvement moving forward.
Two assists Sunday
Farsi assisted twice to go with one shot (one on goal) and two chances created in Sunday's 2-0 win versus Atlanta United.
Analysis: Farsi made his second start of the season and made a massive impact on the match. He assisted both of the goals in the match, strikes by Sekou Bangoura and Diego Rossi. They marked his first two goal contributions of the season as he finally seems to be back to himself after missing the start of the season with a hernia. He will now be away from club football for nearly two months due to the World Cup break.
On bench for Philadelphia game
Farsi (groin) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Philadelphia Union.
Analysis: Farsi is an option for the first time this season after suffering a setback from a sports hernia in March. Having played on the right wing in the previous campaign, the Algerian could offer backup behind Hugo Picard in the short term before competing for a starting spot.
