Xolos' key player

Miler Bolaños. He changed his jersey's number, now carries the 10 and fulfills exactly that function, is the creative offensive and one of its advantages is the ability to play anywhere in the attack, whether on the right wing, left wing or behind the forward, additionaly, has a good definition.

Galaxy's key player

Zlatan Ibrahimovic: The Swede is an out of series and showed it last Friday with his hat-trick in El Tráfico. The 6'4" striker has scored 16 times this MLS season, with 17 games played.
