CARSON, Calif. – The numbers might not be overly impressive, but don’t think Gyasi Zardes hasn’t been doing his part for the resurgent LA Galaxy.
The 24-year-old former homegrown player, now in his fourth season, hasn’t scored since the 19th minute of a 5-2 victory over Real Salt Lake on April 23, but he does have five assists, tied with Giovani Dos Santos for second on the team behind Steven Gerrard’s seven, and continues to do the dirty work that might not get much attention from casual observers.
That effort was on display in Friday’s 1-0 victory over the Houston Dynamo in front of 25,667 at StubHub Center, and Zardes’ work ethic definitely has not gone unnoticed by his teammates.
