Ibrahimovic scores on his debut in LA

Zlatan Ibrahimovic didn't hang around when it came to making his mark at LA Galaxy. Coming off the bench on his debut, against Los Angeles FC, the former Manchester United player waited just 6 minutes before scoring a fantastic 40-yard volley - and then added his new side's winner in a 4-3 thriller for good measure.

Incredibly, Zlatan´s first goal came from his first shot in Galaxy colours, after arriving in Los Angeles just two days before.

A closer look at Ibra's impressive numbers shows that, since he left the Swedish league as a teenager, Ibrahimovic has never taken more than 82 minutes to score in a new league. He had to wait the relative eternity of 82 minutes to notch in La Liga with Barcelona, although he did fail to score on his debut for Ajax - but quickly made amends by scoring immediately in his next game!
