Assist before halftime sub
Marie assisted once to go with zero corners and two chances created in Saturday's 3-1 victory against Portland Timbers.
Analysis: Marie made a significant impact despite being withdrawn at half-time during San Jose Earthquakes' victory over Portland Timbers. The defender contributed six tackles and one clearance in a busy defensive display while providing the assist for Preston Judd's second goal. He has already racked up five assists in MLS this year, surpassing his previous seasonal record despite seeing reduced starting opportunities.
On bench Saturday
Marie (lower body) is available as a substitute option in Saturday's clash against Houston Dynamo.
Analysis: Marie had missed a couple of matches due to his injury, before which he featured as part of a rotation on both wings. His return gives San Jose an additional alternative to Saturday's starters Benji Kikanovic and Jamar Ricketts. The 31-year-old remains one of the team's most successful playmakers, having earned four assists across 16 games played in the 2026 MLS campaign, although he's usually more of a balanced contributor with both attacking and defensive responsibilities.
Ruled out before kickoff
Marie was a late scratch in San Jose's lineup for Saturday's clash against Austin after presumably picking up an injury in warmups.
Analysis: Marie's last-minute absence led to a change in the starting XI, with Benji Kikanovic filling in at right wing-back. This would have been an important chance for Marie to produce after his involvement in a constant rotation on both flanks throughout the campaign, but the issue could now put him at risk of missing even more games. However, the nature and extent of his potential injury remain unclear for the time being.
Supplies assist in draw
Marie assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
Analysis: Marie's key pass setup the lone San Jose goal Saturday in their 1-1 draw versus Vancouver. In addition to his assist, the midfielder contributed one tackle (one won) and one clearance to the defensive effort over his 62 minute shift. Marie's inclusion in the starting XI Saturday was his first across eight appearances.
Three assists in 10 minutes
Marie assisted thrice to go with one shot (zero on goal) and four chances created in Wednesday's 5-1 victory versus Austin FC.
Analysis: Marie came from the bench with 16 minutes to go and provided three assists in a less than 10-minute period. He has yet to start a game this season and this was his first game where he has provided a goal involvement.
