Scores in narrow defeat
Afrifa scored one goal to go with nine shots (four on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against Austin FC. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 46th minute.
Analysis: Afrifa was Sporting Kansas City's most dangerous attacking player, attempting nine shots and opening the scoring in the 56th minute with a low finish into the bottom corner following Andre Luiz's assist. The Canadian winger also forced two saves from Damian Las late in the first half and came close to scoring again after the break, but his efforts were ultimately insufficient to prevent defeat. Afrifa has now registered four goals and three assists across 26 MLS appearances this season, including nine starts. Having started eight of Sporting's last nine matches, he appears to have established himself as a regular attacking option, with his high shot volume against Austin highlighting his growing offensive involvement.
Assists in Thursday's loss
Afrifa assisted once to go with four shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Thursday's 2-1 loss to Seattle Sounders FC.
Analysis: Afrifa assisted Andre Luiz's goal just before halftime Thursday, his second straight game with an assist. It was one of two chances he created and he also took four shots for just the second time this season. He was subbed off in the 76th minute for Seymour Reid.
