Seattle Sounders vs LA Galaxy Highlights 

LA Galaxy scored first thanks to Kevin Cabral who appeared on the left side inside the box and left a very clear assist to the Mexican, who fell in front of the mark and was able to shoot a powerful left-footed shot, making it 1-0. The ball went hard into the net, the goalkeeper could do nothing to contain Chicharito's shot. 

The joy was short-lived, as at 17' Jordan Morris tied the score 1-1. At 45'+2', Freddy Montero turned the score around with a penalty kick to make the score 2-1 in favor of Seattle. In the second half, Douglas Costa took a free-kick, and thanks to a slight defensive deflection, the Galaxy were able to make it 2-2. 

This was to be a great give-and-take duel, so Arreaga appeared alone inside the penalty area and with his head was able to make it 3-2. 

Chicharito scored his second goal of the season

In the 6th minute, Mexican striker Chicharito struck a left-footed shot from the center of the box into the center of the goal. Assisted by Kevin Cabral.

This is Hernandez's second goal so far this season in three games in the 2022 MLS season.

Chicharito's first goal came on Matchweek 1 when he scored the winning goal in the last minute of LA Galaxy's victory over reigning MLS champion New York City FC.

The Galaxy's project is once again centered on Chicharito Hernandez, who last season excelled with 17 goals.

However, the Los Angeles side failed to live up to expectations as they did not even qualify for the playoffs last season.
