Scores in loss
Afrifa scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 4-3 defeat to FC Dallas.
Analysis: Afrifa capitalized on a defensive error, reacting quickly to turn the ball home in what was just his second start of the season. His three goals from 13 shots across 19 appearances reflect an impressive conversion rate for a player who has spent much of the campaign coming off the bench, and the quality of chances he gets into when given the opportunity highlights his attacking instincts in the box. A strong showing in his starting role could see him retain his place for the next fixture against Minnesota United, who sit 11th in the Western Conference, presenting a favorable opportunity to build on his contributions this season.
Net consolation goal
Afrifa scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 2-1 loss versus Atlanta United.
Analysis: Afrifa would find the back of the net Sunday to give Kansas City a little hope to end the match, making it 2-1 before their eventual loss. This comes after only 29 minutes of play, appearing off the bench for a second straight game, as he hasn't started in the club's past four games. This was only his second goal of the season, with his last coming May 17.
