En medio de las miserias del Tri, Alan Pulido es un arma de destrucción masiva en la MLS

Alan Pulido es un hombre con una misión. Luego de perderse todo el 2022 por una lesión de rodilla, el delantero se ha convertido en una máquina de goles que resucitó al Sporting Kansas City de entre los muertos y que de a poco levanta la mano para volver a la Selección Mexicana.

Sobre todo ante la sequía de goles que vive El Tri.

La última demostración del poder de destrucción de Pulido ocurrió el miércoles en la noche, con el delantero siendo responsable del doblete con que el SKC rescató un empate en su visita al LA Galaxy.

Lorenzo Insigne finds calm amid chaos and the LA Galaxy go from bad to worse: 5 takeaways from MLS Matchday 15

In a word, forgettable. Following one of the most exciting matchdays of the MLS season, the league’s first foray into midweek play definitely did not live up to the billing, but there were still a few moments that caught our attention. Despite MLS Matchday 13 being promoted as a continuation of Rivalry Week, there were few games that truly fit that description, and it showed both on the field and in the scorelines.

Alan Pulido espanta la mala suerte y marca su primer gol en 20 meses

Veinte meses después, Alan Pulido se reencontró con el gol.

El delantero mexicano anotó en la victoria 3-0 del Sporting Kansas City sobre Tulsa Athletic en la U.S. Open Cup y terminó con una larguísima y maldita sequía de alegrías.

Pulido llegó al equipo estadounidense proveniente de Chivas, en 2019, a cambio de 9,5 millones de dólares y su aporte en principio no fue menor: 15 goles y ocho asistencias en 36 apariciones. Sin embargo, una serie de molestias y una operación de rodilla a principios de 2022 lo borraron de escena.
