LOS ANGELES – Efrain Alvarez officially opened his account with the LA Galaxy on Wednesday night as the 16-year-old led his team into the fifth round of the U.S. Open Cup.
Alvarez scored a brace and tallied his first goal for the Galaxy first team in brilliant fashion as Los Angeles defeated amateur side Orange County FC, 3-0 on Wednesday at the Dignity Health Sports Park Track and Field Stadium.
After scoring his first goals for the Galaxy’s senior team, the teenager was understandably emotional.
"This was my best moment here at the LA Galaxy," Alvarez said.
