Chicharito's goal came in stoppage time and the player was able to crush the crown of NYCFC, the reigning MLS champion, a team that despite having players like Valentin "Taty" Castellanos or Talles Magno, failed to score.

How long has it been since Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez scored?

The last time the lethal LA Galaxy striker scored for his team in MLS was in the duel against Minnesota United on November 7, 2021, that is, 3 months and 20 days ago, in the last game of the regular season for the Galaxians, who did not make it to the playoffs last season. 

In that match, "Chicharito's" club tied against Minnesota United with a score of 3-3, but his team did not get the necessary points to reach the postseason, so the Mexican's effort was not rewarded. 

The former Manchester United striker even surpassed his teammate and Galaxy's luxury reinforcement, Brazilian Douglas Costa, who was unable to make his presence felt on the scoreboard. 

With the goal that the Mexican scored today, "Chicharito" will seek to surpass the 17 goals he scored in the 2021 campaign, in which he had to deal with injuries that did not allow him to display his full potential. 

Javier Hernandez rules on the field, but off the field, he has serious problems

Although the Mexican player's quality is not in doubt, in recent months he has been involved in several scandals that have caused him serious problems and affected his life. 

For example, for the past two years, the homegrown player of Liga MX's Chivas has been banned from the Mexican national team for an act of indiscipline, which occurred in New York during a Mexican national soccer team training camp. 

In September 2019, Gerardo Martino's national team had a tour of the United States in which they were defeated 4-0 against Argentina.

But everything seems to indicate that this defeat is explained because some Mexican players had a meeting held in a bar in New Jersey hours before the match, accompanied by women. 

And it was this act of indiscipline that has cost "Chicharito" not to be called again to the Tri's matches.

Divorce, is another of the scandals that "Chicharito" has had to face

Since February 2021, the player and his now ex-partner, Sara Kohan, began divorce proceedings and the player himself acknowledged that he did not live up to his marriage. 

Through a series of interviews the player came clean and commented that 2020 was the worst year of his life since his grandfather passed away and not knowing how to deal with his grief, his life spiraled out of control. 

But everything seems to indicate that Hernández Balcázar is now ready to regain control, and he proved it today by scoring for his team, which indicates that his will to excel is stronger than ever.
