But, all things considered, it was a relatively quiet afternoon for Chicharito, who captained head coach Guillermo Barros Schelotto’s side and helped deliver a sold-out crowd to BBVA Stadium.

The Mexican striker, acquired to spearheaded LA’s attack in life after Zlatan Ibrahimovic, showed moments of frustration.

The cutback prompted a save from Dynamo goalkeeper Marko Maric , and Chicharito’s deft off-ball runs on Pavon’s opener shouldn’t be ignored either.

But his only shot, an 11th-minute effort from range, was off target and he registered just one positive defensive action, a clearance in the 53rd minute.

Perhaps a more robust showing from Chicharito comes next Saturday, when the Galaxy host Vancouver at Dignity Health Sports Park (10 pm ET | TSN 1/4 in Canada; MLS LIVE on ESPN+ in US).

It’d be an ideal time for Chicharito to open his MLS account, with pressure flowing after Zlatan’s 2019 campaign of 30 goals and seven assists.
