Match Report presented by Bob's Discount Furniture: Zlatan notches a brace in return from injury

Two Zlatan Ibrahimovic penalties were all the LA Galaxy needed against the Portland Timbers.

Ibrahimovic's pair of spot kicks earned the Galaxy a 2-1 win over the Timbers, as LA's No. 9 won the foul for each penalty. Ibrahimovic's goals which were converted either side a Jeremy Ebobisse tally.

A year to the day of Ibrahimovic's emphatic MLS debut, he nearly scored a goal of the season candidate with the game scoreless, only to be denied by the post. It wouldn't be long before he won his first penalty off a foul by Claude Dielna.
