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

On Sunday night, Denis Bouanga scored in the 86th minute to send Los Angeles FC past Atlanta United 1-0 for its fifth consecutive victory.
LAFC has been turbocharged by Son's arrival, losing just once since July 25 as Bouanga and Son combined for 19 goals, making LAFC the Western Conference's highest-scoring team.
Bouanga's finish in his 100th MLS match scored his 99th goal for LAFC, extending his streak to six and raising his club-record game-winners to 23, tying Lionel Messi this season.
The victory put Los Angeles FC fourth in the Western Conference with two games in hand on San Diego and Minnesota, guaranteeing home-field advantage in the first round of the MLS Cup playoffs.
With Son and Bouanga headed off for international duty this week, LAFC will miss both in Wednesday's home match versus Toronto and must make up postponed games after qualifying for the FIFA Club World Cup.
