Saturday night had a bittersweet taste for the “Chofis” López, an old acquaintance of the Liga MX for his past in Chivas, where he had to leave through the back door due to his indiscipline. The Mexican player started the 2022 MLS season in the best way, as he scored a goal with the San Jose Earthquakes; however, it was not enough, since The Boys in Blue fell at home by a score of 1-3.
The minute was running 69 of the game that was played at PayPal Park in San José, California, when Javier Eduardo López appeared, heading in a ball that had come from a foul near the corner kick. The “Chofis” measured the center and combed the ball practically from behind, with a very soft touch that was enough to change the trajectory of goalkeeper Carlos Coronel and make the momentary 1-1, after in the compensation time of the first half opened the blackboard Patryk Klimala.
Unfortunately for the Californians, López’s goal was not enough and Mosso and Borlow, al 72′ and al 92′, respectively, sealed the final 1-3.
This was the entry number 13 of the “Chofis” in the MLS, figure that he has reached throughout 33 games played, so until now he has an effective average of one goal every 2.5 games under the orders of who was also his DT in Chivas: Matías Almeyda.
