Spotlight on Blas Perez: A newcomer to FCD this season, the 6-foot-1 Panamanian striker has been involved in nine of FCD’s 10 goals, scoring three, assisting on three and drawing fouls for three free kicks, which led to goals by teammates. In the 2010-11 season, he scored 19 goals in 23 starts for Leon of the Mexican second division, and he has played well for Panama in CONCACAF Gold Cup competitions. He was suspended for one game and fined last month for elbowing Vancouver’s Jordan Harvey.
