1-4: Bale’s goal in Los Angeles FC’s victory

Gareth Balefive-time European champion with Real Madrid, scored a fine goal this Saturday in a 1-4 win over Los Angeles FC in the field of Royal Salt Lake City where Steve Cherundolo’s team escaped to lead the MLS Western Conference, with a six-point lead over Austin.

Bale took the field after the restart, with his team leading 1-3 thanks to a double from Colombian Cristian Arango and a goal from American Kellyn Acosta.

The Welshman was responsible for deciding the match in the 87th minute with a fantastic personal action, where he controlled a ball on the left side, defended it from the pressure of two rivals and, after cutting and entered the penalty area, beat the goalkeeper with a powerful shot from his left leg.

It was the second goal of his MLS experience, after the one he scored, always absent, against Sporting Kansas City. Bale celebrated his goal supported by his teammates, including Italian Giorgio Chiellini, the other star signing of the last market session for the Angelenos.

LAFC sealed their fifth straight win and confirmed themselves as the team to beat this year in MLS. He led the West with a six-point lead over an Austin that drew 3-3 at home against San José, despite a brace from Argentine Sebastián Driussi, the championship’s top scorer.
