Scores goal against New York City Chicharito scored a goal and made a clearance in Sunday's 1-0 victory against NYCFC.
Impact Chicharito kickstarted 2022 with a 90th-minute game winner Sunday, putting the MLS Cup champions to the sword. It's an ominous warning to the rest of the league after he scored 17 goals despite an injury-filled campaign last year, and the 33-year-old will want to do even better this time around. Next weekend he will face new expansion team Charlotte FC.

Impact Chicharito was heroic for the Galaxy on Sunday, but they were ultimately eliminated from playoff contention in heartbreaking fashion after Real Salt Lake scored a 95th game winner in their game. Chicharito finishes the season with 17 goals and two assists in 21 appearances (20 starts), a much better output than last year even despite missing two full months in the summer with a calf injury.

Assists against Houston Chicharito provided one assist on two chances created during Wednesday's 3-0 win over Houston.
Impact Chicharito has a goal or assist in three of his last four matches and is finally looking like the forward he was meant to be this season. He is up to 13 goals despite a long layoff with injury, if he can keep this form going he should be a prime play Saturday against Dallas.

Scores goal vs. Timbers Chicharito scored one goal during a 2-1 win Saturday versus Portland.
Impact Chicharito helped the Galaxy defeat a top-four Timbers team based on Major League Soccer's Western Conference standings. The striker possesses seven goals across eight appearances at Dignity Health Sports Park this year, indicating how reliable he has been there.

Quiet in draw Chicharito took one shot on target, delivered one cross, won one tackle, made one interception and drew two fouls in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus LAFC.
Impact Chicharito had a quiet offensive outing Sunday as he attempted one shot in 90 minutes. The striker has now registered two goals in his last five appearances, along with producing 16 shots, four chances created and five crosses in the same time span. He will look to bounce back Saturday against Portland Timbers.

Impact Chicharito was very dangerous on Wednesday and even though his side didn't win -- Anderson Julio's 95th-minute strike saw to that -- he scored his second goal since returning from a calf injury that sidelined him for two months. If he can get back up to his early season form, then the Galaxy will be a handful for anyone they play.

Stonewalled by Austin Chicharito shot four times (three on goal) during Sunday's 2-0 defeat to Austin FC.
Impact Chicharito had every opportunity to get on the score sheet, and put together a solid fantasy day, but it could've been so much more. Brad Stuver absolutely refused to be beaten and stopped Chicharito with some ridiculous saves. The forward won't run into that type of goal-tending every match, and looks good heading into Wednesday's clash with Salt Lake.

Scores goal against Houston Chicharito took five shots (two on target) and scored a goal in Wednesday's 1-1 draw against the Dynamo.
Impact Chicharito was dangerous all night on Wednesday and he scored the equalizer, his 11th goal of the season and his first since returning from a two-month injury. He will want to make up for lost time in the run in to the playoffs, starting Saturday against Minnesota, which have conceded 29 times in 23 matches this season.

Takes two shots in draw Chicharito took two shots and created a chance in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Colorado. He also made a clearance and an interception in the match.
Impact Chicharito played 62 minutes in his return on Saturday, and it was always likely that he wouldn't be fully back up to speed in his first appearance since June after recovering from a calf injury. He will hope to work his way back into the form he showed at the beginning of the season, and Wednesday's clash against the 12th-placed Dynamo, which have conceded 36 goals in 24 matches this season, could provide a good opponent to do it against.
