LAFC Extends Winning Streak to Five with Bouanga's Late Goal
6 Oct
Summary
- Denis Bouanga scores in 6th consecutive match for LAFC
- LAFC stars Son Heung-min and Bouanga have scored 18 straight goals
- LAFC remains 4th in West with 2 games in hand on leaders
On October 6th, 2025, LAFC secured its fifth consecutive victory with a 1-0 win over Atlanta United. The match-winning goal came in the 86th minute from French striker Denis Bouanga, who has now scored in six straight games for the club.
LAFC has been on a tear since the arrival of South Korean superstar Son Heung-min in late July. The team has lost just once in all competitions during that span and has become the highest-scoring team in the Western Conference. Bouanga and Son have been the driving forces, combining for 19 goals in their 9 matches together, an MLS record.
Despite the attacking prowess of LAFC, Atlanta United employed a cautious game plan that included a five-man backline and 10 men behind the ball. This frustrated LAFC's stars, with Son's four-match goal-scoring streak coming to an end. However, Bouanga was able to pounce on a deflected cross to score the winner in his 100th MLS appearance.
The victory keeps LAFC in fourth place in the Western Conference, but they have two games in hand on the teams above them. With Son and Bouanga set to depart for international duty this week, LAFC will need to navigate a busy schedule as they also prepare for the FIFA Club World Cup.
