With center back Matt Hedges out, Victor Ulloa was give the captain's armband for the first time in his career. The 24-year-old became the first homegrown player, a MLS mechanism that allows teams to sign players from their development academies to the first-team roster, to captain FCD.

Earlier in the week he was bestowed another honor: a coveted Chipotle card given to some of MLS' brightest talents.

"It was awesome," said Ulloa of getting the card that give its holder a free meal at the quick-service Mexican restaurant. "Honestly, I couldn't express how happy I was. I've been trying to get it for so long."

Ulloa's teammates and the team staff initially let Ulloa believe that fellow midfielder and homegrown Kellyn Acosta was the club's only card-holder but Acosta later revealed that both players would be able to get guacamole without paying extra.

"I was a little upset. They kind of pranked me at first," Ulloa said. "I was a little upset when I saw Kellyn get his and I didn't get mine, but turns out I got it. Heck yeah."
