The video review concluded that Ibrahimovic received a red card. The Swedish striker struck Petrasso in the face after Petrasso stepped on his foot. This was the 13th red card of the former Manchester United player's career.
The 36-year-old veteran has been sent off three times while playing for PSG, Inter, and AC Milan. He was sent off twice while playing for Juventus, and once while at Barca. In his year and a half at Man Utd, Ibrahimovic didn't receive a single red card but was banned for three matches for elbowing Tyrone Mings of Bournemouth.
Despite being short on players, LA Galaxy secured three points away from home. Ola Kamara scored the only goal in the 75th minute, giving them a 1-0 victory.
Unexpectedly abandoning Arteta's plans, Arsenal are preparing to appoint Emery.

Arteta appears ready to replace Arsene Wenger as Arsenal's new manager, especially after positive talks last week with chief executive Ivan Gazidis, who greatly admires the 36-year-old. According to Gazidis, a younger manager would be better given the development of modern football.
However, the deal stalled, as Arteta himself wanted complete control over transfers at Arsenal.
This is what prompted Arsenal to change direction, abandoning negotiations with Arteta to focus on the deal with manager Emery.
According to reports in the British media, yesterday manager Emery was in London to discuss contract terms. If appointed, Emery will bring his trusted team of assistants, including an assistant coach, a physiotherapist, and a video specialist.
Chelsea will sack Conte within the next 48 hours and invite Enrique to replace him.
After the FA Cup final, Antonio Conte boldly declared, "Chelsea sacking me would be a huge mistake," because he himself is a manager who has always led important victories.

However, sources within Stamford Bridge suggest that winning the FA Cup is not enough to keep Conte in his job.
Chelsea's board has met and will announce the decision to sack the manager within the next 48 hours. Billionaire Abramovich has agreed to pay the Italian coach £9.6 million in compensation.
According to Express, after getting rid of Conte, The Blues will invite Luis Enrique to replace him. The former Barca coach is currently unemployed after leaving the Catalan team at the end of last season.
Other potential candidates for the Chelsea hot seat include Napoli manager Maurizio Sarri or Leonardo Jardim (Monaco).
