Youth and college

Corona began playing organized soccer at the age of 9. When Corona was 11, his family moved to San Diego, California.[2] In San Diego, he spent time with youth soccer clubs Aztecs FC and Hotspurs USA FC before joining Nomads Soccer Club.[2][3][4] Corona attended Sweetwater High School and played for the school soccer team for four years. During his senior season, Corona captained the team to a league championship and was named the 2008 San Diego Union-Tribune Player of the Year.[2][4][5]

Corona received a partial scholarship to play college soccer at San Diego State University.[2][4] During his freshman season, he had 3 goals and 1 assist in 15 games for the Aztecs.[5] In 2009, ahead of his sophomore season, Corona's sister suffered a stroke. His parents had to take time off of work to take care of his sister and Corona was no longer able to afford SDSU due to the medical bills for his sister. Corona left San Diego State and began looking at community colleges so he could get a cheaper education and have time for a part-time job to help his family financially.[2][6]

Club career

Club Tijuana

After leaving San Diego State, one of Corona's friends encouraged him to attend an open tryout for Mexican side Club Tijuana who played in Liga de Ascenso at the time. He impressed during his tryout and began playing with the Xolos' reserves team. Although his parents wanted him to continue his education in the United States, Corona decided on pursuing a pro career with Tijuana.[2]

After spending four months with the reserves, Corona was promoted to the Tijuana first team.[2] On April 3, 2010, he made his debut for Xolos' first team, coming on as a substitute in a 3–2 loss to Club Necaxa in the Liga de Ascenso Clausura 2010.[7] Corona made 3 appearances during his first season with the first team.[8]

The 2010–11 season saw Corona establish himself in Tijuana first team. He scored his first professional goal on August 29, 2010, to help Xolos to a 2–0 win over Durango.[9] Corona played in 15 of the 17 matches of the Apertura to help Tijuana finish top of the table and qualify for the Liguilla semifinals. Although he didn't feature in either leg of the semifinal, Corona started both legs of the final, helping Xolos beat Veracruz 3–0 on aggregate.[7] For the 2011 Clausura season, Corona scored 3 goals in 15 appearances as Tijuana finished 4th in the Table. He played in all 6 of Xolos' games in Liguilla, scoring once, as Tijuana reached the final, where they lost 2–1 to C.D. Irapuato over two legs. Since the Apertura and Clausura had different championships, a Promotion Final was held between Tijuana and Irapuato. Corona didn't feature in the first leg, a 0–0 draw. In leg 2, Corona had a goal and an assist to help Xolos to a 2–1 victory, earning Tijuana promotion to the top flight for the first time in club history.[7][10][2]

On July 23, 2011, in the first game of the 2011 Apertura, Corona scored Tijuana's first ever goal in the Primera División in a 2–1 defeat to Monarcas Morelia.[2][11] He scored again in Xolos' second game of the season, a 4–2 loss to Monterrey.[7] Corona ended the Apertura with 2 goals from 13 games as Tijuana finished 15th in the table. Following the 2011 Apertura, Corona was named the Newcomer of the Year for the Mexican top flight.[12][13] In the 2012 Clausura, he scored twice in 14 appearances, helping Xolos finish 7th and qualify for Liguilla. Corona started both legs of their quarterfinal matchup with Monterrey, but Tijuana lost 4–3 on aggregate.[7] Corona ended his first season in the top flight with 4 goals in 29 appearances.[8]

In the 2012–13 season, Corona played in 14 of the 17 games during the 2012 Apertura season as Tijuana finished 2nd in the table. Although he didn't appear in the quarterfinals, Corona started both games against Club León in the semifinal as Xolos advanced 3–2 on aggregate. Facing off with Deportivo Toluca in the final, Corona started both legs to help Tijuana win 4–1 on aggregate and win the Apertura 2012 title.[7][14] Corona made 14 appearances in the 2013 Clausura as Tijuana finished 10th in the table, missing out on Liguilla.

After winning the 2018 Apertura with América, Corona returned to Club Tijuana for the 2019 Clausura season.[39] He made 3 appearances in Liga MX and 3 in the Copa MX before being sold to the LA Galaxy.[37][40]

LA Galaxy
Corona with LA Galaxy in 2019

On March 6, 2019, Corona signed for MLS side LA Galaxy.[40][41] He made his Galaxy debut on March 9, playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–0 loss to FC Dallas. He scored his first goal for Los Angeles on September 15 to help the Galaxy defeat Sporting Kansas City 7–2.[42] Corona ended his first season with the Galaxy with 1 goal and 3 assists from 31 regular season appearances, helping the Galaxy qualify for the playoffs after finishing 5th in the Western Conference.[43][44] Corona did not make an appearance in either of the Galaxy's 2 playoff games.[43][42]

On September 2, 2020, Corona scored his first goal of the 2020 season to help the Galaxy defeat the Portland Timbers 3–2.[45] Following the match, he was named to the MLS Team of the Week.[46] During a shortened season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Corona played in 16 of a possible 23 games for the Galaxy.[43] It was a poor season for LA, as they finished 10th in the conference and missed out on the playoffs.[47]

San Diego Loyal

On January 18, 2023, Corona signed with his hometown club, San Diego Loyal of the USL Championship.[57]

International career

Due to Corona's birth and his parents being of both Mexican and Salvadoran nationality, he was eligible to represent the United States, Mexico, or El Salvador. In May 2011, El Salvador head coach Rubén Israel approached Corona about representing El Salvador, but Corona declined in favor of representing the U.S. or Mexico.[58][59] He was named to the preliminary roster to represent the United States in a friendly match against Mexico in August 2011 under Bob Bradley, but Bradley was fired before the official roster was announced. Corona later accepted a call-up to represent Mexico in a two-legged friendly series against Chile's U22 squad in preparation for the 2011 Pan American Games. Corona only played in the second game and this did not tie him to play for the Mexican team, as the game was not an official FIFA match.[60] Corona did not make the final cut for Mexico's Pan American Games squad and later accepted a call up to the United States U-23 team.

Corona recorded a hat trick in the Olympic qualifying match in a 6–0 victory over Cuba. In the final group stage match, Corona scored to give the Americans a 3–2 lead over El Salvador; however, a late El Salvador goal earned a draw and eliminated the Americans from contention for the 2012 Olympic Games.

In May 2012, United States men's national soccer team head coach Jürgen Klinsmann called up Corona to senior team.[61] On May 26, 2012, Corona made his debut for the senior national team in a friendly against Scotland, coming on in the 68th minute as a sub.[62] On October 16, 2012, Corona made his first official appearance, coming on as a sub in a 2014 World Cup qualifying match against Guatemala, permanently cap-tying him.

On June 27, 2013, Corona was selected to the USMNT 23-man squad for the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup by Klinsmann.[63] On July 13, Corona scored his first goal for the national team to help the U.S. defeat Cuba 4–1.[62] He appeared in 5 of the team's 6 games and scored 2 goals to help the U.S. win the 2013 Gold Cup.[62][64]

After missing out on the initial 23-man roster for the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup, Klinnsman added Corona to the squad as one of the 6 allowed replacement players following the group stage.[65] Corona played in 2 of the 3 games while part of the team as the U.S. finished 4th at the tournament, losing in the 3rd place match to Panama.[62]

On June 25, 2017, Corona was named in the 23-man squad for the 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup by head coach Bruce Arena.[66] Corona played twice and scored once during the tournament, both during the group stage, to the USMNT win 2017 Gold Cup.[62][67]

Personal life

Corona is of Mexican and Salvadoran descent. His mother was born in El Salvador (Yanira Crespín), and his father in Mexico (Angel Corona).[2][4] He has one sibling, a sister named Miriam.[2] He was born in Los Angeles, California, and when he was 3 his family moved to Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico.[2][68] When he was 9, the Corona family moved to San Diego, California, United States, just over 30 miles north of Tijuana.[2][68] In San Diego, Corona graduated from Sweetwater High School in National City, CA. After finishing high school, he received a partial scholarship to attend San Diego State University.[4][2]

He has been in a relationship with Ana Melissa Valadez since October 8, 2015.
