AROUND THE LEAGUE: Zlatan's debut & more

Zlatan Debuts

The debut of “El Trafico” did not disappoint for fans who tuned in. The fireworks started when LAFC scored three goals in the first half - including a spectacular left-footed curl from Carlos Vela in the fifth minute of action. The second half belonged to LA Galaxy. After a goal from Sebastian Lletget in the 61st minute, the Galaxy gained momentum as forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic entered the game in the 71st minute. Moments later it was Chris Pontius who cut the lead in half with a spectacular header. After trailing by just a goal it became the Zlatan show.
