LAFC will visit the LA Galaxy this coming Saturday (7:30 pm ET | FOX, FOX Deportes) in 2022’s first edition of El Trafico, and both Western Conference clubs are carrying serious momentum from Week 5 results that spearhead the latest Team of the Week presented by Audi.
LA is back in the win column with a 3-1 victory at the Portland Timbers that was paced by a brace from Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez, reigniting calls for him to be included on the Mexican national team. Galaxy defender Derrick Williams was immense at Providence Park, earning a bench spot.
