Troy Elgersma

Scores first senior goal

Elgersma scored a goal off two shots after coming off the bench during Wednesday's 3-1 loss against St. Louis City.

Analysis: Elgersma made his second career MLS appearance, being brought as part of a double substitution in the 73rd minute. And the youngster made most of the chance despite playing for a team down 0-3 and with just 10 men. In the 86th minute, he appeared at the right place to fire a left-footed one-timer past the goalkeeper and score the consolation goal for the Galaxy. This was the first goal as a professional for the midfielder, who will hope to get more playing time to keep showcasing his skills during upcoming games.
