Goal in four straight

Baribo took four shots (three on target), created three chances, and scored the equalizer in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Nashville SC. He also committed two fouls and earned a yellow card in the match.

Analysis: Baribo has now scored in four consecutive appearances to add to his team-high 11 goals in 15 appearances. The striker will look to keep it going on the road against CF Montreal on Saturday, August 15.

Hero against Toronto

Baribo scored one goal on two shots (one on goal) during D.C. United's 2-1 win Saturday against Toronto FC.

Analysis: Toronto conceded a last-minute penalty because Jackson Gilman fouled Andre Dozzell of D.C. United. Baribo attempted the spot-kick and scored. Between back-to-back seasons, he has logged double-digit goals as part of different teams, DC and the Philadelphia Union. Ideally for him, unlike his 2025 season, Baribo can maintain a steadier pace. That year, after logging 10 goals in 12 games, he scored eight across 20 appearances.
