Real Salt Lake falls to the LA Galaxy in 2-1 road loss

Real Salt Lake couldn’t quite get it done in Los Angeles as they drop all three points in a 2-1 loss against the Galaxy, thanks to a game winner from Zlatan Ibrahimovic. LA keeps their perfect record at home (6-0-0) and Zlatan notches his ninth goal of the season.

LA got the scoring started in the 16th minute with an opener from Uriel Antuna off a great assist from Chris Pontius. Defender Diego Polenta sent a ball in toward Ibrahimovic who was near the top of LA’s attacking 18. He smartly dummied it, letting it roll past him and in between two RSL defenders, allowing Pontius to collect the ball and quickly cross it to a streaking Antuna, who easily tapped it in past Andrew Putna.
