Gareth Bale Debuts For LAFC With Brilliant Pass Amid Boos From Nashville Fans

Gareth Bale made his debut for Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC) in a win over Nashville SC on Sunday at Geodis Park, pulling off a brilliant pass with his first touch in Major League Soccer (MLS).

Bale, 33, stepped on the field in minute 71 to replace LAFC forward Cristian Arango amid cheers from the visitors and boos from Nashville fans.

Three minutes later, Bale found teammate Jose Cifuentes with a backheel tap that got the crowd roaring.

Not a bad pass for Bale’s first touch in MLS but the rest of his time on the field was not enough to give fans a real taste of his partnership with Carlos Vela.

Giorgio Chiellini also made his debut for LAFC, playing 60 minutes of solid defense before getting subbed out for Eddie Segura.
