After a long run-up by Jonathan dos Santos, the Zlatan got the crowd to go crazy by hitting the ballnintonthe net with his backheel behind his back. Even the opponents Toronto FC’s home audience gave him standing ovations.

Another interesting note from the game yesterday was that Zlatan has scored more professional goals than all the other 21 players on the field – coubted together – had played professional games.

“It’s not the first time I get standing ovations from the away team,” said Zlatan after the match.
