CJ Sapong's one-goal, two-assist performance on Wednesday against Columbus was noteworthy in a few different ways. Taking a quick look at a list of fast facts about Sapong's Man of the Match performance reveals that Sapong:

  • Set a new single-season career high in goals for a season (10)
  • Tied his single-season career high for assists in a season (five, also set during his rookie season in 2011 with Sporting KC)
  • Recorded his first-ever multi-assist game in Major League Soccer
  • Totaled three combined goals/assists for the second-ever time in MLS (joining his hat trick effort against the Red Bulls on May 6 of this year)
  • Joined the Union's "double-double" club as its third-ever member

The first four speak for themselves, but what about the last bullet?
