Former LA Galaxy midfielder Juninho opened his account for Club Tijuana with the type of strike that endeared him to Galaxy fans for years.
Making his first start for Tijuana, Juninho notched his first Liga MX goal in the 33th minute of Xolos' eventual 2-2 draw with Veracruz on Friday night. With Tijuana down to 10 men and down 2-0, Juninho made a late run down the right flank and launched a shot first time past the Veracruz goalkeeper.
Juninho and Club Tijuana face the LA Galaxy in a preseason friendly on Feb. 9 at StubHub Center.
