Scores goal against RSL Alvarez scored a goal on three shots (three on goal) in Wednesday's 1-0 win over Real Salt Lake.

Impact Alvarez managed to stay just onside as he slipped in behind the defense in the box and finished his chance with his left foot in the 53rd minute. He looked good in his return from the Gold Cup as he had a couple of other opportunities, but his two other attempts were saved. He also took six corners, sent in four crosses (none accurate), created a chance and drew two fouls. Alvarez now has two goals in 10 appearances this season. The Galaxy will host Vancouver on Sunday.

Back with Galaxy Alvarez (Gold Cup) should be an option for Wednesday's match against Real Salt Lake, head coach Greg Vanney revealed to the media.

Impact Alvarez wasn't a regular for Mexico in the Gold Cup, so there's a slight chance he could start Wednesday against RSL. Even if not, he'll likely be an option off the bench, having appeared in each of the nine matches prior to leaving for international duty.

Out for Gold Cup Alvarez is playing with Mexico for the Gold Cup and will likely miss all of July for the Galaxy, if not more.

Impact Alvarez missed LA's first two matches of the month and there's a decent chance he'll miss all of July while on international duty. The Galaxy are lacking options at the moment, partly due to Chicharito's injury, and that's led to a few starts up front for Ethan Zubak.

Earns call up to national team Alvarez has been called up to the Mexican national team for friendlies against Panama and Nigeria in preparation for the Gold Cup, it was announced Sunday.

Impact Alvarez is sure to miss at least two games if he sticks with the squad for the entire week. If he also is asked to play in the Gold Cup or Olympics this summer, then Alvarez will miss even more games, though that news will be confirmed in a week or two. While he's gone, Chicharito figures to feature as a lone striker at the top of the Galaxy attack.

Scores goal against Vancouver Alvarez subbed into Wednesday's match against the Whitecaps in the 60th minute and he scored the game winner in the 2-1 victory.

Impact Alvarez salvaged the three points for his side on Wednesday, scoring just after it seemed Janio Bikel had forced a draw with a 92nd-minute equalizer for Vancouver. Alvarez should return to the starting lineup Saturday against the Earthquakes, which have conceded a Western Conference-high 17 goals in 10 matches this season.

Takes three shots in shutout win Alvarez had three shots (off target), two chances created, two crosses (both accurate), two dribbles and four corners in Saturday's 2-0 win over Austin FC.

Impact Alvarez was the main guy on set pieces and mounted a solid stat line. He could be productive when on the pitch but with just about 120 minutes from two starts in the five outings his role appears limited in general thus far.
