RSL vs. LA Galaxy: Player of the Match

Not an easy player of the match today. I could say it was the officials for the VAR and getting it right. I could say it was the weather. I could give it to the full stadium of fans (although there were way too many LA Galaxy fans there). So, here goes:

My emotional player of the match would be Marcelo Silva. His pure passion, joy and commitment led to the goal and the celebration afterwards. Take the yellow Marcelo and don’t change!

My hustle player of the match goes to Aaron Herrera. He was everywhere. He saved a goal with his head, he outran everyone on the LA team, and did a fantastic job.
