Assists against Dallas
Ennali assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Wednesday's 3-3 draw against San Diego FC. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 4th minute.
Analysis: Ennali's offensive form has picked up recently, with his last six appearances featuring seven chances created for two assists. They account for half of his 2026 season's assist tally: four across 29 games (27 starts). The tally ties his career-high for Houston.
Single shot in draw
Ennali recorded one shot (zero on goal) and one cross (one accurate) in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus FC Cincinnati.
Analysis: Ennali provided a single shot during Saturday's draw, and put one cross in accurately. It wasn't his most impressive match, but it wasn't awful. The lack of end product is a bit of a disappointment in a match that was there for the taking, but it's not a horrible result.
Assists in win
Ennali assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 2-1 victory against Real Salt Lake.
Analysis: Ennali has been a consistent presence in the back line thanks to his versatility to occupy both flanks and his creativity going forward. The full back has just two assists this season, both coming in May, with none since, though he has remained active offensively with 16 chances created, six shots and 15 crosses across 12 games in that stretch. He added another assist to his tally by setting up Houston's opening goal, scored by Guilherme.
Creates two chances
Ennali took two shots (one on goal), crossing once inaccurately and creating two chances during Saturday's 0-0 draw with Charlotte.
Analysis: Ennali helped Houston keep a clean sheet as a member of the back line Saturday finishing with the third most shots and chances created on the team. The fullback has combined for three shots, six chances created and six crosses over his last three starts.
Two assists in dominant win
Ennali assisted twice to go with one cross (one accurate) and four chances created in Sunday's 4-1 win over Los Angeles Football Club.
Analysis: Ennali dished out two assists in Sunday's 4-1 road win at LAFC, first teeing up Jack McGlynn at the top of the box for the 25th minute opener before pulling another pinpoint pass back to McGlynn inside the area in the 55th minute to complete his brace. He also sparked the sequence that led to Guilherme's free-kick goal by drawing the foul in the first half, capping off a standout shift. Ennali finished with two assists and a season-high four chances created over 90 minutes, operating as Houston's most dangerous and active threat out wide.
Scores lone goal Saturday
Ennali scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-0 win over Colorado Rapids. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 63rd minute.
Analysis: Ennali scored the lone goal of Saturday's match, an outside-the-box strike in the 72nd minute which won the match for Houston. It was one of just two shots he took in the match and it marked his third goal of the campaign. He also kept his first clean sheet of the season, recording one interception in his first start of the season at left back.
