Los Angeles Football Club’s and Sierra Leonean International striker, Kei Kamara, has shined in the Major league Soccer MLS after scoring his 145th regular-season goal.
After his goal Kai has tied with Landon Donovan for second-most in Major League Soccer (MLS) History.
Kei Kamara picked the perfect moment to equal Landon Donovan’s mark of 145 career MLS goals for second place on the league’s all-time list.
The iconic striker made his historic tally count on Wednesday night, salvaging a late 1-1 draw for LAFC at Austin FC to extend the Black and Gold’s unbeaten run to seven games. The result kept them in second place in the Western Conference Standings with a 10W-4L-4D record (34 points).
Kai signed as a free agent in late March, the 39-year-old opened his LAFC account in Match day 21 with a towering header at the back post in the 90th minute that could prove vital for a side that’s looking to reach a third-straight MLS Cup Final in 2024.
“Forget the record,” Kamara remarked. “It was just getting the goal to get back into it so we don’t lose the game so we can keep our streak going.”
The Sierra Leonean has enjoyed an interesting career playing in the MLS, and has had some beautiful goal scoring memories with over 11 football clubs since signing his first professional contract with Columbus Crew in 2006.
