Union win streak ends in controversy against LA Galaxy

Zlatan Ibrahimoviu0107 scored twice in the first half and the Philadelphia Union’s second half comeback was slowed by a second yellow shown to Auston Trusty in a 2-0 loss to the LA Galaxy on Saturday night.

Ibrahimoviu0107 opened the scoring in the 27th minute when he headed in a cross from Jorgen Skjelvik after starting the sequence by forcing a turnover deep in Union territory. Ibrahimoviu0107 went up high to win the header and made contact with Auston Trusty on his way down.

The question of whether it was a foul or not would come under greater scrutiny when a penalty was awarded after another cross into the box to Ibrahimoviu0107 five minutes later.
