Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored two goals as he and the LA Galaxy downed FC Dallas 2-0 on Wednesday night in Carson, California. It was LA’s first win in nearly a month, while FC Dallas was shutout for the third time in their last four games.
Dallas best chance came early in the match off a corner kick where Santiago Mosquera’s shot hit the crossbar.
The two sides traded only a few decent looks in the first half before Ibrahimovic found the back of the net in the 68th minute. Cristian Pavon and Jorgen Skjelvik combined in open space on the left wing before Skjelvik crossed the ball into the box where the big Swede was there to slot it past Jesse Gonzalez for the game’s first goal.
