Goals from Cristian Arango and Jose Cifuentes either side of a penalty by Nashville’s Hany Mukhtar put LAFC 2-1 up before prized acquisition Bale, a five-time UEFA Champions League winner, came on in the 72nd minute.
Even though LAFC was on the road, the former Real Madrid and Tottenham superstar were cheered by a sell-out crowd at Geodis Park, which included a vocal contingent of LAFC fans.
It was Bale’s first competitive club match since April 9.
