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.
