Jozy Altidore scores again as he embraces super-sub role for Puebla

The veteran forward is adapting well to life in Liga MX

Jozy Altidore scored his second goal for Puebla on Thursday, as he came off the bench to secure a valuable 1-1 draw at Querétaro.

Altidore came on with 28 minutes left and his team down a goal. In the 75th minute the veteran American received the ball and turned sharply atop the box before sending a low, scuffed shot into the corner.

The striker now has two goals in six appearances for Puebla, all of which have come as a substitute.

That total has surpassed his total of one goal with the New England Revolution, which the 32-year-old left in July to join Puebla on loan through the rest of 2022.

With so many USMNT strikers in form, Altidore’s chances of a late World Cup roster push still seem remote — especially as he continues to come off the bench. But at the very least, he is showing he hasn’t lost his goalscoring touch.
