Provides assist in goal fest
Bucha assisted once to go with three crosses (one accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 6-2 victory over Orlando City.
Analysis: Bucha intercepted a ball in midfield and pushed forward to find Evander in a great spot to score in first-half stoppage time during the victory. Other than the assist, Bucha completed 96 percent of his passes and stood out in defensive tasks with five interceptions and three tackles won throughout the match. He was deployed as a right wing-back, away from his more familiar holding midfield spot, for the sixth consecutive league game. Such move has led to an increased production of crosses and an impact on his team's goals, as he scored once and assisted three times over those six appearances.
Nets in loss
Bucha scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and three crosses (one accurate) in Wednesday's 5-3 defeat versus Inter Miami CF.
Analysis: Bucha put a single shot on goal and scored with it during Wednesday's loss. The midfielder's goal was a nice return, but it wasn't enough to overcome a brilliant Miami attack. The midfielder didn't have too much volume throughout the match, which can limit his floor against teams with stout defenses.
