Colorado Rapids
Los Angeles Galaxy welcome Colorado Rapids to their Dignity Health Sports Park in what is expected to be an interesting Major League Soccer game. LA Galaxy aim to recover from a 2-0 loss to Orlando City and they are seen as favourites to win Sunday’s encounter. As always, a man to watch in the home team will be Javier Hernandez Chicharito, while goalkeeper Jonathan Bond remains on the sidelines with injury.
The Rapids, on the other hand, head into the match following a goalless draw with Vancouver Whitecaps. Colorado, though, are not regarded as good travellers, which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. To make things even worse for the away team, their injury list is pretty long, including the likes of Abraham Rodriguez, Braian Galvan, Moise Bombito, Jack Price, Jackson Travis, and Aboubacar Keita.
Highlighted Player (Javier Hernandez):
Javier Hernandez or Chicharito is a 27-year-old striker who plays for German Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen. He began his professional career in 2006 playing for the Mexican club Guadalajara. His first break came in 2010, ahead of the FIFA World Cup, when he became the first Mexican player to join the English Premier League side Manchester United.
He was very effective at United endearing himself to the fans with some crucial goals. Chicharito played for Real Madrid in 2014-15 season on loan and had limited success with them. But he revived his career with a move to Leverkusen in 2015 with whom he has regained his prolific scoring record. Hernandez carries his prolific form to national colors too.
Having made his senior national debut in 2009, Chicharito has 43 goals from 80 games for the national team. He is the second highest goal scorer of all-time for the Mexico national team.
Highlighted Team (Colorado Rapids):
Colorado Rapids is a Major League Soccer club and they compete in the USA professional soccer league as a member of the Western Conference. Colorado began their play in MLS back in 1996 and 14 years later they managed to win the MLS Cup trophy. The Rapids recorded a 2-1 win over FC Dallas in the final of the tournament, with George John scoring the winner for Gary Smith’s team in the extra time. Colorado made it to the MLS Cup final in 1997 as well, but D.C. United proved to be a big catch for the club in the title game.
The Rapids play their home games at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park and the venue has been Colorado’s home ground since 2007. It has to be noted that the likes of Tim Howard, Carlos Valderama, Claudio Lopez and Jermaine Jones were all part of the club in the past. Colorado’s colors are red, sky blue and white, but they were yellow shirts and blue shorts when playing on the travels.
