CHESTER, Pa — Not even a cross-country trip, a driving rainstorm and a feisty opponent could slow down Zlatan Ibrahimovic and the LA Galaxy.
On Saturday night in front of a big Talen Energy Stadium that crowd that braved some nasty weather, Ibrahimovic had a goal and an assist to lead the Galaxy to a 3-1 come-from-behind win over the Philadelphia Union.
Ibrahimovic’s winner came in the 63rd minute, on a great cutback move and feed from halftime sub Romain Alessandrini, after the Swedish star set up the equalizer earlier in the half with a clever through ball to Ola Kamara.
Michael Ciani iced the win with an 82nd-minute goal as the Galaxy extended their unbeaten streak to seven and winning streak to three.
Midway through the first half, CJ Sapong broke a scoreless drought for the Union, netting his first goal since April with a redirection of a Borek Dockal cross.
