Carlos Vela está, como dicen los clichés deportivos, entre algodones. El talentoso jugador no se encuentra al ciento por ciento físicamente y es duda para un LA Galaxy vs LAFC que ebulle ante la posibilidad de verlo frente a Javier Chicharito Hernández, en un face to face que promete ser el más importante entre futbolistas mexicanos en la historia de la MLS.

Chris Wondolowski scored two late goals to rally the San Jose Earthquakes to a 2-1 victory over Real Salt Lake on Friday night at Salt Lake City.

Wondolowski entered the match in the 72rd minute and quickly sparked the San Jose attack. He knotted the score on a rebound in the 83rd minute and headed in the winner in the 87th.

The two goals — Wondolowski's first two of the season — increased his MLS all-time record tally to 168 and gave the Earthquakes (3-1-0, 9 points) their third straight victory. Wondolowski has 12 career goals against Real Salt Lake.

Chicharito anda dulce. A los dos goles que convirtió en la primera semana de la MLS, ante el Inter Miami, ahora sumó un hat-trick para la victoria 3-2 de LA Galaxy sobre New York Red Bulls. Yep, cinco conquistas en dos partidos. Una cifra colosal, que esconde bajo la alfombra su horrendo 2020 y que comienza a tapar las bocas de aquellos que no daban un peso por el goleador mexicano. Incluido quien escribe.

Javier "Chicharito" Hernández scored three goals in the opening 60 minutes as the Los Angeles Galaxy earned a 3-2 victory Sunday over the visiting New York Red Bulls to become the only two-win team in MLS two weeks into the season.

It was the second consecutive multi-goal game for Chicharito, who scored just two goals the entire 2020 season for the Galaxy.

Andrew Gutman and Cristian Cásseres Jr. scored goals for the Red Bulls, who are the only Eastern Conference team to lose each of their first two games.

El Inter Miami logró su primera victoria de la temporada 2021 de la MLS, al derrotar por 1-2 al Philadelphia Union. El equipo de Florida vino desde atrás, en una jornada que tuvo a los hermanos Higuaín como protagonistas. De hecho, Federico y Gonzalo se convirtieron en la primera pareja de hermanos en convertir en un mismo partido de la liga estadounidense.

Ezequiel Barco and Emerson Hyndman each had goals to lead host Atlanta United to a 3-1 victory over Chicago Fire FC on Saturday night.

After not scoring in its MLS opener last week against Orlando City and mustering only two goals in three matches overall, Atlanta United (1-0-1, 4 points) found its offensive spark in front of a 50-percent capacity crowd in its home opener.

Cade Cowell scored his first goal of the season and added an assist in his new role as a starting striker to lead the host San Jose Earthquakes to a 3-1 victory over FC Dallas on Saturday.

Oswaldo Alanís scored from the penalty spot and Cristian Espinoza added a second-half goal after missing a first-half penalty for the Earthquakes (1-1-0, 3 points), who won their first home opener since 2018.
