Zlatan’s debut season in Major League Soccer brought us countless memories, but none carry more weight than the Shot Heard Around the World, which has now been voted the AT&T 2018 MLS Goal of the Year by the fans.
Down a pair of goals to LAFC in the first-ever El Trafico, Ibrahimovic made his LA Galaxy debut, entering the match in the 71st minute. After Chris Pontius’ header narrowed the score to 3-2, the Swedish target striker needed just one chance.
Moments later off a Tyler Miller restart Daniel Steres sent a powerful header across the midfield stripe, and when Ola Kamara prevented Dejan Jakoviu0107 from challenging the first bounce (a big no-no), Ibra had his chance.
