A Zlatan Ibrahimovic brace and an additional Ola Kamara goal — all coming after the hour mark in the match — vaulted the LA Galaxy over Real Salt Lake at StubHub Center Saturday night.
RSL held the Galaxy to a scoreless draw for 60 minutes, which included Justen Glad making a heroic defensive stand to deny a seemingly-sure Zlatan goal from crossing the line. But in the 61st minute, RSL 'keeper Nick Rimando, attempting to punch a ball out, unintentionally set up Zlatan for a short header to open the scoring. In the 67th minute, Zlatan made it a brace.
Ola Kamara, denied in a one-on-one situation with Rimando just prior to the opening goal, got himself on the scoreboard in the 77th minute to close out the scoring.
