LOS ANGELES (Monday, April 19, 2021) – LA Galaxy forward Javier Hernández was voted the Major League Soccer Player of the Week for Week 1 of the 2021 MLS season.
Hernández led the Galaxy to a 3-2 win over Inter Miami CF at DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Fla, on Sunday afternoon with a two-goal outing in the MLS season opener for both clubs.
With his club trailing 1-0 after halftime, Hernández took a low cross from Ethan Zubak in the center of the area, and with a neat half-turn around his marker, set the ball for a low angled drive past the goalkeeper to level the score in the 62nd minute (WATCH HERE).
