The forward has now been given the start in the club's first two matches of the season after ending last campaign in the starting XI, notching six shots, five crosses and one chance created across his two starts.

Finishes in starting XI Olivera made 15 appearances (12 starts) and started every single playoff match in 2023.

Impact Olivera came in late in 2023 and pretty much immediately became the first choice on the right wing. With Carlos Vela departing there's no reason to believe Olivera won't open 2024 with just as strong of a hold on that starting job. That said his production left something to be desired with just two goals and 10 chances created in 1,049 minutes.

Austin FC vs. Los Angeles Football Club

Eight shots, five on goal Olivera generated eight shots (five on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and three chances created in Wednesday's 5-1 win versus Minnesota United.

Impact Even though Los Angeles Football Club ran rampant with goals, Olivera was unsuccessful in logging one himself. It was not without a valiant effort though, as he logged more shots on goal than Denis Bouanga and Filip Yavorov Krastev, both of whom scored. Olivera may remain goalless, but his quantitative output against Minnesota should be enough for him to remain in the running for a regular starting role.

Gets first international call up Olivera has been called up to the Uruguayan national team for their upcoming 2026 World Cup qualifiers and will not be an option for Saturday's game versus Portland.

Impact Olivera scored in his team debut for LAFC on Aug 24 against the Rapids, making three appearances off the bench his first three games. He is still fighting for a starting spot on the team, but it will be hard especially with the addition of Mario Gonzalez, who has been getting the start his first three contests since joining the team in July.

Scores in club debut Olivera scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal), two crosses (two accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 4-0 victory against Colorado Rapids.

Impact Olivera broke onto the scene with his new club when he scored just 21 minutes after stepping onto the field in a LAFC jersey for the first time. He only appeared as a substitute, but that should be expected for a new player joining midseason. The 21-year-old will have to fight for a starting spot in the squad with such a stacked attacking group in front of him, especially seeing that LAFC also just brought in striker Mario Gonzalez from Braga.
