Ibrahimovi­c still winning awards

-

– Swedish superstar Zlatan Ibrahimovi­c’s first goal for the Los Angeles Galaxy, a 77th-minute equaliser from 40 yards last March, was named Major League Soccer’s Goal of the Year this week.

In fan voting from among 16 finalists, the spectacula­r scoring prize went to the 37-year-old striker.

Zlatan’s first MLS goal was a memorable one against Los Angeles FC on March 31, a right-footed blast from long range over goalkeeper Tyler Miller into the back of the net.

He later nodded in the winner in stoppage time for a 4-3 victory. –
