Zlatan played one and half seasons for Manchester United.

#2 TORONTO VS LA GALAXY

LA Galaxy had a horrendous start to the first half, conceding three goals against Toronto FC. It looked like the away side would go into the half-time break trailing by three goals leaving all to do work in the second half.

However, Zlatan Ibrahimovic had different ideas. In the 44th minute of the game, the former Swedish international came up with an atrocious taekwondo kick to reduce the deficit for LA Galaxy. It was 3-3 after the break, but eventually, Toronto FC ran out 5-3 winners on the night.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is blessed with flexibility and athleticism. The Swede has already lit up the MLS, and this goal got praised by pundits and players all over the world. Even the Toronto fans stood up and applauded the brilliance of one of the best footballers in history. It was also the 500th career goal of the former Sweden captain.

About the author

A sports enthusiast and an avid follower of football.

Since childhood I was encouraged to play cricket and in no time it became a hobby. Gradually I found interest in other sports also.

Football is in my blood and I love the electrifying ambiance that surrounds it. I often watch the pre and post match analysis of a match and try to learn how to analyze a football game.

The thing that intrigues me the most is that there are so many things happening behind the scenes that are oblivious to our naked eyes. The technological advancements that has been made are phenomenal.

I like analyzing a game from a statistical point of view. Being a data guy myself , I am firm believer of providing insights through facts and data. Though a game is always unpredictable , analyzing it from different dimensions can provide some very interesting conclusions.
