Los Angeles Galaxy winger Joseph Paintsil says having him, Riqui Puig and Gabriel Pec score in the same game was an amazing thing.
He said this in his post game interview after Galaxy beat San Jose Earthquake 4-3 in the California Derby; Paintsil scored a goal and registered an assist in the win.
Puig and Pec scored in the game marking the first time Paintsil, Pec and Puig (PPP) scored in the same game with Painstil joining the team this season after starring at KRC Genk in the Belgian club.
“Having Riqui with the ball make differences for the other players especially the defenders, because he sees the way I run. Pec, as you can see he also knows how to do his thing. We three, scoring goals is an amazing thing especially the PPP on the score sheet is truly amazing and we hope for more.”
