Herc Gomez

He's doing well under Mark Dos Santos.

That's three.

A great player, great night, scoring two goals, and yet you're still overshadowed by Hong-Chung Ming-Sung, who got himself, yes, second goal of the season, but he's got 12 assists in the season now, or excuse me, 10 assists in the season now, and who I think just keeps being a Mexican killer, Mexican club killer, and Danny Bawanga.

So I'm going to sit here and talk about David Martinez because I think he deserves it, but you could easily be overshadowed by those two in a night where

maybe for 15 minutes, Cruz Azul was in this game, but then it was just LAFC, and it could have been a lot worse.

But David Martinez, the Venezuelan, U23 player, he comes over, failed Olympic dream for Venezuela, comes over to LAFC, and you see the player who was there.

You see the player who many were expecting to, out of the gates, break through with Steve Turandolo, and yet he doesn't.

And you're wondering what happened to that player that you saw a glimpse and flashes of with the Venezuela national team, that you saw a glimpse and flashes of in preseason or at times with LAFC.

Why isn't he the same player?

Mark Dos Santos comes in and they've given this kid the freedom to just let loose.

Nobody is on him when he doesn't give up the ball.

They run off of him, clear lanes.

He's been taken under the wing of Denny Bawanga.

And look at this, and Hyeongmin Song, they seem to have taken to his abilities.

This is a team that is scary in transition, and he fits that system very well, but this is a very creative, very, very good 10-type player.

in the likes of, if you follow Atlanta United in their earlier years, Miguel Almiron.

That is the same type of player you are getting, same type of confidence, and same type of ability when he goes at you with that left foot.

He's a very good player, and yes, he would be the star of the night because of the two goals,

But if you watch this game, Denny Bawanga terrorizes teams.

And Hyungmeng Sung, excuse me, he is just so instrumental in everything they do.
