Zlatan Ibrahimovic led the LA Galaxy to a win in MLS on Saturday, while two of the top teams in the Eastern Conference played out a draw.

Ibrahimovic scored his second brace in three games to see the Galaxy past Real Salt Lake 3-0 at the StubHub Center.

It took until the hour-mark for the Galaxy to grab the lead, Ibrahimovic capitalising on an error from goalkeeper Nick Rimando.

A brace from Kei Kamara saw the Vancouver Whitecaps to a 5-2 win over Orlando City and Dallas were 2-0 victors against Montreal Impact.
