Signing Zlatan Ibrahimovic to a TAM deal may have been highway robbery, but it appears bringing Chris Pontius to LA was a stroke of genius.
The UC Santa Barbara product has been named to the MLS Team of the Week after scoring two tantalizing goals during the LA Galaxy’s last-gasp victory over the Revs in Foxborough. After sprinting onto the path of Ashley Cole’s cross and coolly slotting home a shot on the half-volley inside Matt Turner’s side netting, Pontius ran onto Giovani dos Santos’ dummy to steer a clutch finish past Turner deep into stoppage time and steal all three points from Brad Friedel’s side.
