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.
Sets up opening goal
Valakari had an assist while creating two chances during Wednesday's 5-0 win over Austin.
Analysis: Valakari set up David Vazquez after just eight minutes to assist the opening goal of the match. The midfielder has assists in two straight starts while combining for two shots, four chances created and six tackles over his last three matches.
