When it seemed that LA Galaxy were not to win, Javier Hernandez appeared to gives his first the first win of the season.
LA Galaxy and NYC FC played a very interesting match between two big clubs. Galaxy have a big project this season and is one of the favourites team to win the MLS league. New York is the current champion and they want to defend their tittle above all.
The only goal of the match would arrive in the last terms of the game. When all people thought that will be a draw, Javier `Chicharito´Hernandez scored an incredible goal to close a suffered victory. The football legend around the world and with a lot of years of career was decisive in his last years as a professional football player. Raheem Edwards (with an awesome steal in away area) passed the ball between two defenders and `Chicharito´ finished with an beautiful shot.
The crown (with an absolutely full in Dignity Health Sports Park) went nuts and all the coaching staff/players too. Starting the league with a victory in the last resort give the team a confident that will be important throughout all the year. Also, LA Galaxy dominated all the game with most part of the ball possession and chances during the ninety minutes. In addition, having players who have been very good in Europe like Douglas Costa or `Chicharito´ is another way to motivate and create pressure to the rest of the players in the squad.
About the current champion, these result is not very worrisome. It was the first match of the league and one defeat doesn´t mean nothing. Although some fans complained about the defenders of the team becouse of the performance in this game and in pre-season.
The next task of LA Galaxy is going to North Carolina in eight days to play against Charlotte. This match should be easy to Greg Vanney´s team. Finally, the team of Ronny Deila will play against other team that should be easy to win, Vancouver Whitecaps.
