Zlatan Ibrahimovic struck a fabulous hat-trick in a game billed as the game of the season and helped his team Los Angeles Galaxy stretch its unbeaten record against city rivals Los Angeles FC by one more game.
Not only it was a battle between two of the best players in MLS in Carlos Vela and the Swedish superstar, but the game was an opportunity for Galaxy as well, to show the world and in particular to the newly built team, that they remain the biggest Soccer team in Hollywood.
In retrospect, the game could have gone either way, had it not for Zlatan’s superb efforts, and it was a reminder as well that the team has a lot to improve on if it wants to be a force it craves.
