LOS ANGELES, Calif. – The match between Real Salt Lake and the Los Angeles Galaxy was tied at one when Galaxy superstar Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored the go-ahead goal in the 78th minute to give LA a 2-1 lead.
He scored off of a pass from the left side of the goal from Sebastian Lletget finding Ibrahimovic for the one-time shot that went past Real goalkeeper Andrew Putna.
Just 18 minutes before that, he received a yellow card after committing a hard foul on RSL defender Nedum Onuoha. Once he scored the goal, he got back into Onuoha’s face to let him know that he scored on him and the RSL defense.
