Ibrahimovic’s Galaxy debut strike voted MLS Goal of the Year
Swedish icon Zlatan Ibrahimovic ’ s first goal for the Los Angeles Galaxy , a 77 th -minute equalizer from 40 yards last March , was named Major League Soccer’ s Goal of the Year on Tuesday .
In fan voting from among 16 finalists , the spectacular scoring prize went to the 37 -year – old striker whose European stops included Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, AC and Inter Milan , Juventus and Barcelona .
Also winning in fan voting was Seattle Sounders goalkeeper Stefan Frei with the MLS Save of the Year , a quick reflex stop by the Swiss against Colorado ’ s Shkelzen Gashi in the 82 nd minute on July 4 . That kept Seattle ’ s lead at 2 -1 and the Sounders won by that margin .
Zlatan ’ s first MLS goal was a memorable one against Los Angeles FC on March 31 , a right -footed blast from long range over LAFC goalkeeper Tyler Miller into the back of the net to ignite cheers at StubHub Center .
Zlatan later nodded in the winning goal in stoppage time for a 4 -3 victory .
Also among the nominees for top tally was Zlatan ’ s 500 th career goal , a sweeping leg kick blast against Toronto on September 15 .
He became the third Galaxy player with a year ’ s top MLS goal , joining Landon Donovan from 2009 and Carlos Ruiz in 2002.
