Zlatan Ibrahimovic once again proved that he is too good for the MLS after he scores a brace in El Traffico to end it 3-3.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has always been outspoken about his capabilities and even at this age he has not spared the MLS with his ruthless and egoistic statements.

However, the Swedish International always stands up to his words, no matter how ludicrous are his words, Ibrahimovic always proves his statement, which is one of the reason why he keeps using such words.

The former Swedish International has repeatedly said that he is greater than the brand MLS and with his performances at this age are somewhere proving his point.

One such instance recently happened during the El Traffico- between LA Galaxy and LA FC, the clash is even more interesting as there had been a lot of talk in the build-up surrounding the rivalry between Ibrahimovic and Carlos Vela, who has been making light work of the MLS of late.

Meanwhile, both the players scored in the match, it was Ibrahimovic, who took the spotlight once again. netting an easy brace inside the first 15 minutes of the game.

It took only two minutes for the Swedish International to score in the game to make it 1-0, ghosting in behind the defence before coolly slotting home at the near post.

Watch the goals

As usual in Zlatan’s fashion, he celebrated in front of the opposing fans making sure they knew who was boss on the west coast.

Los Angeles FC were quick to respond back to level the terms. However, it did  not last long as Ibrahimovic striked another to be on the score-sheet once again.

Once again his celebrations were unapologetic, raising his arms to taunt the rowdy LAFC faithful.

When Christian Pavon cut in from the left and rifled home to make it 3-1, it really looked like the Galaxy would romp home.

It was thought that LA Galaxy have sealed the match but their city rivals were able to wrestle themselves back into the affair and were on level terms in the 55th minute thanks to a low finish from Vela.

The Swedish striker is certainly making headlines ever since landing in the United States, however at the same time, he is able to show that he still got the game even in his final phase of a glorious career.
