After another decisive role in an LA Galaxy match, midfielder Riqui Puig has been named to the MLS Team of the Week, this time for Week 30 of the 2022 regular season.
Puig scored the walk-off penalty in LA’s 1-1 road draw against Nashville SC on Saturday at Geodis Park. It’s just a penalty, you may say, so what? Well, it was the difference between a draw and a loss, and it comes on the heels of two missed penalties in two games for the Galaxy, including this one. Plus, coming at the very end of the game, it’s the second last-minute (or thereabouts) goal Puig has scored since joining the Galaxy.
