Chicharito scores twice to spur Galaxy to comeback win in season opener

It’s been more than 13 months since the Galaxy began packing for their first visit to South Florida to play Inter Miami, the club co-owned by former club legend David Beckham.

The team finally finished that road trip Sunday, and it proved worth the wait, with the Galaxy twice rallying from deficits to win 3-2 on Sacha Kljestan’s goal in the 82nd minute.

Javier “Chicharito” Hernández scored the other two Galaxy goals, doubling his career MLS total 73 minutes into his second season. Gonzalo Higuain set up the first goal and scored the second for Inter Miami.
