Los Angeles Galaxy Coach Sigi Schmid has heaped praises on Ghanaian forward Emmanuel Boateng for his game-changing performance in his sides 1-0 win over San Jose Earthquakes in the MLS.

The Ghanaian winger came on in the second half to help his side to victory following a brilliant display that set up Romain Alessandrini for the only goal of the game.

Boateng has been impressive for the club and Coach Sigi Schmid says his second-half appearance was more tactical.

"[Chris] Pontius was feeling a little bit tight. So, we have a number of games coming up, so we didn't want to put him into a situation where he would get injured. We thought Emmanuel [Boateng] was the right guy," he said in a post-match interview.

"The last few weeks he's played well coming off the bench. Offensively he gives us a spark, sometimes defensively it makes it a little more difficult for us. But, certainly offensively today he helped us, and his running at people caused them problems,' he added.

Boateng will be key as LA Galaxy prepares ahead of the game against FC Dallas on Wednesday.
