A few hours after Messi’s show in Miami, galaxy and LAFC They are the star of a fantastic derby, with six goals, emotions, controversy and Riqui Puig provides an image for the young history of this fight. The former FC Barcelona player completed the Galaxy’s comeback with a great goal from outside the area that beat French goalkeeper Hugo Lloris and he celebrated by taking off his shirt and in a bullfighting gesture.
He finished to the ‘olés’ of the public at Dignity Health Sports Park, but the start was in favor of LAFC. Steve Cherundolo’s men attacked the Galaxy on the left wing and it was on that wing that the 1-0 lead for Polish Mateusz Bogusz, who has a past in Ibiza, and the 2-0 lead for Gabonese Denis Bouanga.
LAFC won at halftime, but everything changed in the second half. Within fourteen minutes, Serbian Dejan Joveljic and Edwin Cerrillo, with a fine goal from outside the area, rounded the score.
Puig provided two assists to Joveljc, the second almost involuntary, with a weak left-footed shot that the Serbian sent into the back of the net. The Catalan managed to put the icing on the cake for the increasingly dominant Galaxy, who are seven points ahead of an LAFC who, yes, have two games in hand.
For its part, the Houston Dynamo beat Real Salt Lake 4-1 and settled into the postseason positions. Argentine Ezequiel Ponce, with his second goal in three games, put the icing on the cake for the Texans’ victory. The bad news for Houston is the muscle problem suffered by Mexican Héctor Herrera, who retired at the end of the first half and is doubtful for Wednesday’s next game against Vancouver.
