Ibrahimovic sent off in Galaxy’s victory

Montreal: Zlatan Ibrahimovic was sent off for the first time in his Major League Soccer career before the Los Angeles Galaxy ended a four-match losing streak with a 1-0 victory over Montreal Impact. Galaxy have slipped to mid-table in the Western Conference as the euphoria of Ibrahimovic’s debut in March has faded. The major talking point after Galaxy’s vital away win was Ibrahimovic’s sending off in the 41st minute. Ibrahimovic reacted angrily after Michael Petrasso appeared to tread on his foot as he backed into the Swede. The 36-year-old striker responded with a slap to the side of Petrasso’s face. Both players slumped to the turf following the incident, but after a review of the incident via VAR, Ibrahimovic was sent off.
