Vote now for the LA Galaxy Goal of the Year Competition
Ema Boateng terrorized Real Salt Lake so much that he practically holds an ownership stake in the team.
Boateng scored the opener in the Galaxy’s 3-3 draw with Real Salt Lake on Sept. 7. Sprung free by a beautiful pass from Giovani dos Santos, the 22-year-old blew past Jamieson Olave to find himself alone on the goal. One-on-one with goalkeeper Nick Rimando, Boateng deftly beat the goalkeeper near post to put the Galaxy ahead.
All of Boateng’s four goals this season were against Real Salt Lake.
