The LA Galaxy played their first preseason game of 2022 on Saturday, a closed-door match against Toronto FC, and according to both teams, it was a 5-4 barnburner.
According to the scarce information available, LA took an early lead, apparently through Efrain Alvarez, before TFC leveled from Jayden Nelson. Then, Chicharito opened his preseason account with a penalty conversion, appearing to be of the panenka off-speed variety, to give the Galaxy a 2-1 edge.
TFC tied it up again, courtesy of Deandre Kerr, who then scored another to take Toronto ahead at 3-2.
