The incredible difference between how much it cost LAFC a goal from Carlos Vela and one for LA Galaxy by Javier Hernandez

This MLS season had a special flavor for Mexican fans as two of the best strikers in recent times faced each other in Los Angeles. Carlos Vela had to continue showing his validity at LAFC, while Chicharito Hernandez had to start showing why LA Galaxy paid more than $ 10 million for his pass. None of that happened as Vela returned in the last games from injury and Javier Hernandez was a complete failure.

First, to analyze how much each goal by Vela and Hernandez is worth, it is necessary to know how much each player wins approximately. The two former players of the Mexican national team are among the top earning players in MLS. Approximately they earn between $ 550 thousand and $ 720 per es and if we take into account that the MLS regular season was played for 3 months, we must multiply that value by 3.

There we have the salary that each player earned in the three months that the season lasted. Carlos Vela, true to form, scored 4 goals in the regular season for what each goal cost LAFC approximately $ 400,000. Javier Hernandez, on the other hand, only scored 2 goals and charged a little more than Vela, so each goal went to LA Galaxy close to $ 1 million dollars.

It is clear from these statistics that the MLS regular season was not good for either of the two Mexicans. Vela can be forgiven because he suffered a severe knee injury but Chicharito Hernandez was a failure and made the LA Galaxy lose a lot of money. Now Vela has the possibility of claiming himself in the MLS playoffs.
