Quiet outing Saturday

Navarro recorded two shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Real Salt Lake.

Analysis: Navarro had one attempt stopped by the goalkeeper in the second half, yet it was an overall disappointing performance for him in the defeat. His production of two goals over his last six MLS appearances reflects a dip from his blazing start to the season, though that remains enough for him to stay atop Colorado's scoring chart. Regular minutes in a No. 9 position could eventually allow him to make the most of the limited opportunities his side generates.

Scores winning goal

Navarro scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 1-0 win over Minnesota United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 85th minute.

Analysis: Navarro scored the only goal of the game with his only shot, helping his side end a run of five consecutive league matches without a win. The forward was very active physically, drawing four fouls and making three tackles, but also committed a high number of fouls himself with eight. He has now scored eight goals this season, just four fewer than his total from last campaign.

Scores one

Navarro scored one goal to go with six shots (three on goal) in Saturday's 3-1 defeat against Vancouver Whitecaps FC.

Analysis: Navarro recorded the lone goal for Colorado on Saturday, making six shots (three on target) in the process. He's been the team's top contributer for goals this season with already seven goals along with three assists through 10 league appearances, already matching his assist total from 2025 and is five goals away from matching his total from the year prior as well.
