Although Philadelphia Union took a first half lead, Zlatan Ibrahimovic dragged his team back into the match and scored a second half winner to lead LA Galaxy to a road win. Although the Union were in control in the opening forty-five minutes, they were punished for mistakes as the match wore on.
Sapong back on the scoresheet
