In the aftermath of El Trafico, an overlooked sequence had the potential to spiral into controversy when it emerged Zlatan Ibrahimovic had placed his hand on the face of LAFC attacker Lee Nyugen during a scuffle.
Clearly unhappy with what transpired, Nyugen took to social media to vent his frustration. (My that’s quite a ratio)
In the end however Zlatan was let off with a warning, as the Swedish superstar was merely fined by the league.
LA Galaxy forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been fined an undisclosed amount for violating the league’s policy regarding hands to the face, head or neck of an opponent.
