Zardes scored his eighth goal of the season in the Galaxy win over Portland on Saturday, tying the game in extra time of the first half.

Seven of Zardes' eight goals this season have come since June 8. He began the year as a part-time player, even sitting out two games early on the season, but he's the last seven games and played the full game in all but one of those games. The Galaxy are playing their best soccer of the season right now, have nearly everyone healthy and in form, and Zardes is a big part of that.
