CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy Special Olympics Unified squad has created some special moments throughout its three-year existence, but perhaps none more memorable than a little exchange between SOSC midfielder Oliver Fiust and João Pedro.
The duo made an instant connection when Furst re-signed for the Galaxy back in May because of their identical hairstyles. Their bond only grew when before the Galaxy’s California Clásico match with the San Jose Earthquakes, Fiust presented Pedro with a note imploring the Portuguese midfielder to score a goal in his honor.
Pedro delivered on Fiust’s request with a tally in the Galaxy’s 3-1 win over San Jose and immediately took to Instagram to tell his buddy of his accomplishment.
