Ibrahimovic nets quickfire hat-trick to help LA Galaxy win
Los Angeles, July 30: Star Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored a quickfire hat-trick, his first in Major League Soccer (MLS), as LA Galaxy rallied to beat Orlando City 4-3 here.
Ibrahimovic on Sunday netted his goals inside 24 minutes in the second half, according to a BBC report.
With the treble, Ibrahimovic now has 15 goals in 17 appearances for LA Galaxy. The 36-year-old also provided the assist for Giovani dos Santos to score Galaxy's first goal.
Cristian Higuita had given Orlando the lead. The visitors' other goals came from a Michael Ciani own goal and Dom Dwyer, .
"It was a good day. For the team. For me. I scored three goals, had one assist. We won the game. If we wouldn't have won the game, it doesn't matter how many goals or assists you do, to win is something different," Ibrahimovic was quoted as saying by the club's official website.
"I think we started the first half poor. Very poor. We conceded easy goals. I think that was lack of willingness, lack of concentration, energy, motivation. In the second, we showed what we wanted. We went out, and we went for the kill," he added.

Two arrested in K'taka for assaulting minors, uploading CSAM content
Bengaluru (PTI): Two men were arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting two minor girls, recording the acts on mobile phones and uploading the videos online as child sexual abuse material, police said on Thursday.
The accused have been identified as Kiran Kumar (29), hailing from Chitradurga district, and Aditya M K (20), hailing from Shivamogga district, they said.
A probe was initiated after information was received from the NCRP portal regarding a suspected instance of creation of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) for online dissemination, police said.
Accordingly, a case was registered at Kaggalipura Police Station under relevant sections of the IT Act on May 10, they added.
Investigation revealed that two minor girl victims were exploited and videos were created and uploaded to the internet. The child victims have subsequently recorded their statements as per procedure and further necessary legal steps have been taken, Pronab Mohanty Director General of Police, Cyber Command, said in a statement.
Based on the statements of the victims, the accused persons, who allegedly assaulted the minors, recorded the acts on mobile phones and uploaded the videos online, were arrested, he said.
Following the probe, sections 65(2) (rape) and 70 (gangrape) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, along with relevant sections of the POCSO Act, have been added to the FIR, police said.
Officials collected relevant information and on May 12, arrested the accused persons and seized three mobile phones belonging to them, in which the videos had allegedly been recorded, he said.
The accused were later produced before the court and taken into police custody for further investigation, he added.
According to him, in CSAM cases, police usually apprehend offenders who have downloaded such content or have kept them in their possession after obtaining them from elsewhere, usually the internet.
"The present case is one of the very few instances where content creators and uploaders have been apprehended," Mohanty added.
