Impact Valencia was selected to the starting XI in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Seattle after appearing as a second half substitute in Austin's first match of the campaign. He recorded one shot on target and contributed three tackles (two won), three interceptions and a block defensively. Valencia also picked up his second yellow card of the season. After being cautioned just four times over 27 appearances (16 starts) in 2023, Valencia will have to improve upon his early disciplinary complications to remain a consistent option for Austin FC.
