Bale scored his first goal for Los Angeles FC in their 2-0 win over Kansas City.
After coming on as a second half substitute, the Wales forward fired in a low shot seven minutes from time.
LAFC is four points clear of second place.
The most important thing is that we won the game, according to Bale.
It's nice to score and help the team get the three points.
It's nice to get off the mark but more importantly get the three points.
Bale signed for LAFC on a free transfer from Real Madrid earlier this month with an option to stay for the next two seasons.
He said the transition had been what he expected. I'm getting my fitness back up quickly and the club is doing an amazing job to progress me and not push me too fast.
I'm starting to feel better and better as I train, and I was happy to contribute tonight.
Bale moved quickly to set up his goal, releasing Arango with a pass from inside his own half.
Arango, who had scored LAFC's opener, held up the ball well and then rolled a pass into the path of Bale, who had sprinted up in support of the counter- attack.
He took his time before finishing his run.
