CARSON, Calif. – Jose Villarreal is determined to win his way back into the fold with the LA Galaxy, and if he continues to perform as he did in Wednesday’s U.S. Open Cup win over Orange County SC, the opportunities will come.
Villarreal put in a man of the match showing as Los Angeles advanced to the Round of 16 with a 3-1 win over the USL club.
Placed in a second striker role, Villarreal pulled the strings for the Galaxy, creating three chances and completing nearly 90 percent of his total passes.
