Both Justin Mapp and Danny Mwanga were shutout in their midweek knockout matches. As the fifth seeds in their respective conferences, both Montreal and Colorado had to travel to their opponents' stadiums. Mapp was often a dangerous player for the Impact this year, scoring two and assisting on eight, but with reports of a coaching change his spot on the roster may be in jeopardy. Mwanga, who only scored one goal in 556 minutes this season, appears to be one of the least valued forwards on a roster that is chock-full of them. Colorado will look to rid themselves of his $171k contract this offseason.
Neither Brian Perk nor Chandler Hoffman dressed as LA beat RSL 1-0 at home. The Galaxy must now face Salt Lake at the Rio Tinto in order to keep their three-peat dreams alive.
