Perhaps Zlatan Ibrahimovic forgot Major League Soccer has video review.
The LA Galaxy striker’s afternoon against the Montreal Impact was cut short Monday, as Ibrahimovic was sent off after 40 minutes for violent conduct after a review with the game scoreless.
Ibrahimovic came together with Montreal Impact defender Michael Petrasso minutes before. Petrasso backed into Ibrahimovic, stepping on his foot before Ibrahimovic retaliated with a slap to Petrasso’s face.
Both players hit the ground after with Ibrahimovic grabbing his foot and Petrasso his face.
The incident was missed by the referee Ismail Elfath, but unlike in the Premier League, where Ibrahimovic played prior to MLS with Manchester United, there was no need to wait until the league reviewed the events to mete out punishment.
