Ghana forward Joseph Paintsil walked away with Los Angeles Galaxy's Golden Boot award for the 2025 campaign during the end of season gala.
The 27-year-old scooped the award after emerging the club's top scorer in the Major League Soccer with ten goals from 22 matches.
The Black Stars forward achieved the enviable accolade following a tremendous run which saw him become the third LA Galaxy player to score a first-half hat-trick.
Paintsil joined Robbie Keane and Alejandro Moreno as the LA Galaxy players to set the remarkable record. He did that in the match against Sporting Kansas City.
Meanwhile, he was beaten to the Player of the Year award by Diego Fagundez.
Despite his latest accolade, Painstil was left disappointed by the outcome of the campaign after the MLS champions failed to make the playoffs.
"I think this season was a lesson for us and this is also a wake-up call for us as a team. It hasn't been the way we wanted it to be. Unfortunately, we gave out a lot of points, a lot of unnecessary goals, a lot of mistakes. We get punished and we're here now not even playing for the playoff. It's really a sad moment for a champion team last season and not playing in the playoffs," he said.
"We should have at least been in the playoffs even for us to test ourselves and see how far we would go. But in everything, you just need to give thanks to God. He knows the best."
