Victor Vazquez missed the LA Galaxy’s first El Trafico showdown of 2021 against LAFC due to injury, and so who did the playmaking in the 2-1 win?
Would you believe it if I said defender Derrick Williams did via tackle?
That’s right, the new center back played his first 90 minute shift for the Galaxy on Saturday, and LA’s 11th minute opener was caused by one of the more remarkable assists you’re likely to see.
Williams had a terrific tackle on the edge of LA’s defensive third on LAFC midfielder Jose Cifuentes, who was pushing up to try and spring a quick counterattack.
