Scores equalizer Saturday
Damiani was injured and subbed out in the 82nd minute of Saturday's 2-2 draw against Charlotte FC. He scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) before exiting the match.
Analysis: Damiani scored the equalizing goal Saturday, a strike in the 73rd minute assisted by Danley Jean Jacques. It continued his excellent run of form as he now has nine goals and one assist across his last seven matches. He'll look to continue his red-hot streak Saturday versus New England.
Logs brace, assist in win
Damiani scored two goals and assisted once from three shots and two chances created in Wednesday's 3-1 victory over Chicago Fire.
Analysis: Damiani came alive in the second half, scoring the go-ahead goal before adding another one late. He also assisted on Philadelphia's first goal. The forward has a good chance to keep up this level of play against Charlotte FC, a team that has conceded 43 goals in 29 MLS matches this season.
Opens the scoring Saturday
Damiani scored a goal while taking five shots (two on goal) during Saturday's 2-1 win over RSL.
Analysis: Damiani opened the scoring in the 31st minute while leading the Union with his five shots in the match. The forward has two goals to go along with eight shots and three chances created over his last three starts.
Starts comeback Saturday
Damiani scored a goal while taking two shots (one on goal), crossing twice inaccurately and creating a chance during Saturday's 4-3 win over Sporting KC.
Analysis: Damiani found the back of the net in the 64th minute scoring Philadelphia's first goal. The forward is in red hot form at the moment with five goals, 10 shots and four chances created over his last three starts.
Scores in win
Damiani scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) and two chances created in Sunday's 5-0 win over San Diego FC. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 27th minute.
Analysis: The forward added to Philadelphia's goal-scoring party with one of his own, and he should be able to keep adding goals against Sporting Kansas City. The club is last in the West and has a minus-33 goal differential on the season in MLS play.
Hat trick in win
Damiani scored three goals to go with five shots (three on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 5-0 win against FC Cincinnati.
Analysis: Damiani delivered a stunning hat trick, finishing a precise pass across the box from Cavan Sullivan, driving a powerful shot into the right side of the goal from a Quinn Sullivan layoff, and adding a third to cap an outstanding individual performance. His six goals across 24 matches this season have come from 50 shots and over eight expected goals on the campaign, and a performance like this was always a matter of when rather than if for a striker of his quality. His next fixture against San Diego FC will be a competitive test, but he heads into it in the form of his life.
Provides assist in win
Damiani assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal) and four chances created in Saturday's 3-1 victory against New York Red Bulls.
Analysis: Damiani set up Neil Pierre's goal in the 65th minute, while also creating four chances across his 80 minutes on the pitch. Although neither of his two shots found the target, his involvement as a creator highlighted the variety he can bring to Philadelphia's attack. Damiani has now recorded three goals and two assists across 22 MLS appearances this season, offering both scoring and creative production in the final third.
Nets brace
Damiani scored two goals to go with two shots (two on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 3-2 win versus New York City FC.
Analysis: Damiani helped the Union erase a 2-0 deficit, scoring two of their three goals in Sunday's comeback victory. After a slow start to the season, he's begun to find his footing in the attack, recording three goals and one assist over his last seven league appearances.
Strikes for first goal of season
Damiani scored a goal while taking three shots (one on goal) and creating a chance during Sunday's 6-4 loss to Miami.
Analysis: Damiani found the back of the net in the 20th minute scoring Philadelphia's third goal. The goal was the first this season for Damiani as he's combined for two goal involvements, four shots and four chances created over his last three starts.
Four shots Saturday
Damiani recorded four shots (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus D.C. United.
Analysis: Damiani took four shots, created a chance, and sent in two crosses and still couldn't quite break the deadlock against D.C. United. It was a day to forget for Philadelphia's attack and Damiani in particular will be frustrated with his wasteful finishing. Damiani is still looking for his first goal of the season.
