Chicharito Makes A Record He Never Expected In MLS: Failed 4 Goals From 8 Opportunities
JAKARTA - Javier Hernandez has had a good season at MLS for the Los Angeles Galaxy. However, there is still room to fix bad records that he doesn't want to have.
Since arriving in the United States in 2020, Chicharito has failed to execute four of the eight penalties he has taken. That is, the number of failures is more than anyone else in the MLS.
With just a success rate of 50 percent, many experts suggest it may be time for Galaxy to choose a new penalty taker.
However, overall, the Mexican striker has contributed to the California team, with a total of 34 goals in 62 appearances since joining from Sevilla.
However, on Sunday evening, Chicharito needed to apologize to team-mates after one of his penalties to Sporting Kansas City's goal failed.
This condition was ex- Manchester United strikers who tried the Panenka penalty. Even though Galaxy's condition was not profitable because it was in a 2-2 score position.

The other two goals from Galaxy were honestly scored by Chicharito. And both from the spot.
However, the draw was hard to accept Galaxy who hoped to move up to the playoffs. Chicharito's last-minute penalty failure might haunt them.
