Emmanuel Boateng probably wishes he could play every game against Real Salt Lake.
The 22-year-old Ghanaian scored the third goal of his Major League Soccer career - all of them against RSL - in Wednesday evening's Knockout Round match, putting the LA Galaxy back on top by slaloming through a handful of defenders.
The dazzling tally came after Boateng's contentious foul earlier in the half had allowed Joao Plata to convert a penalty and cancel out Alan Gordon's opener.
If that alone didn't make up for his defensive blunder, Boateng would pot another goal later in the half, giving his side a 3-1 lead going into the interval.
