Denis Bouanga’s Late Goal Leads LAFC to 5th Straight Win

Sunday night, Denis Bouanga's 86th-minute strike delivered a 1-0 win for Los Angeles FC at BMO Stadium, giving LAFC its fifth consecutive victory.
After Son's arrival earlier this year, LAFC lost just once since July 25 while Bouanga and Son combined for 19 goals in nine matches.
The scorer, Denis Bouanga, netted a low volley between Atlanta United goalkeeper Jayden Hibbert's legs in his 100th LAFC appearance, raising his club-record 23 game-winners.
LAFC's win moved Los Angeles FC to fourth in the Western Conference with two games in hand on San Diego and Minnesota and guaranteed home-field advantage in the MLS Cup playoffs later this month.
Atlanta's coach Ronny Deila employed a five-man back line and made a personnel change last week replacing Saba Lobjanidze with Enea Mihaj; critics said substitutions cost momentum as Atlanta prepares for its final road trip next Saturday to Chase Stadium.
