Scores opener Saturday
Valakari scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 3-0 win over Colorado Rapids.
Analysis: Valakari opened up the scoring in Saturday's victory, an unassisted strike in the 27th minute. It marked his fourth goal of the season but his first since March 15. The goal came on his lone shot in the match before he was subbed off in the 67th minute for Marcus Ingvartsen.
Two tackles in defeat
Valakari had two shots (one on goal) in Wednesday's 1-0 defeat to Colorado Rapids.
Analysis: Valakari registered two shots (one on target) and two tackles across Wednesday's 1-0 defeat at Colorado, contributing at both ends of the pitch in a midfield role that required consistent pressing and ball-winning throughout the match. The Finland international has now recorded three goals and three assists in 16 MLS appearances this season, providing San Diego with a valuable secondary source of attacking production from midfield. His ability to contribute defensively while arriving in dangerous attacking positions should continue to make him an important piece of San Diego's midfield for the remainder of the Western Conference campaign.
