Zlatan Ibrahimovic led the LA Galaxy to a win in MLS on Saturday, while two of the top teams in the Eastern Conference played out a draw and the Seattle Sounders stopping their skid with a win over D.C. United.
Ibrahimovic scored his second brace in three games to see the Galaxy past Real Salt Lake 3-0 at the StubHub Center.
It took until the hour-mark for the Galaxy to grab the lead, Ibrahimovic capitalizing on an error from goalkeeper Nick Rimando.
Rimando failed to get enough on a punch from a cross, allowing Ibrahimovic to head into an open goal.
