Gareth Bale scored a dramatic equalizer in extra time for LAFC to force penalties against Philadelphia Union.
WHAT HAPPENED? The ex-Real Madrid star leapt high to meet a cross into the box and powered his shot past the goalkeeper to set off wild celebrations. LAFC then won the game in a shootout to become MLS champions.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: It was an unbelievable moment for Bale near the end of an unbelievable back-and-forth match. He’s the hero and worth every bit of money LAFC give him.
WHAT NEXT FOR BALE? A little tournament called the World Cup in just a couple of weeks.
