Stefan Ishizaki suggests the LA Galaxy can improve a lot from their 2-0 win over the Chicago Fire on Friday night.
The 2014 MLS champions opened up the new season with a routine result at the StubHub Center courtesy of second-half goals from Jose Villarreal and Robbie Keane.
However, Swedish midfielder Ishizaki - who played a key role in the opening goal - believes Bruce Arena's men can be more efficient in the attacking third.
"I think we played really well until we came into the last third. We struggled a little bit there," said Ishizaki.
"We could have been a lot cleaner and been a lot better.
"I think it's a little bit of opening night (nerves)," he added.
"You could see there were some nerves, some mistakes we probably wouldn't make in the middle of the season. But I think we played fairly well."
