Inside Opta: Jones steps up for Galaxy

The 26-year-old’s unforgettable strike came in the 30th minute of the Energy’s 1-0 win over the Sacramento Republic in USL action Tuesday.

Defender Michael Harris began the sequence with an acrobatic flip throw, launching the ball into the box from more than 40 yards out. After that service forced an errant headed clearance from Sacramento, Gonzalez pounced on the opportunity by firing home a close-range bicycle kick.
