Bouanga ties Vela | Son scores again | LAFC destroys San Jose in front of 50k

LAFC’s stars showed up and showed out in front of 50,978 fans at Levi’s Stadium — and spoiled the San Jose Earthquakes’ record-setting night. Denis Bouanga delivered a statement hat trick, tying Carlos Vela atop LAFC’s all-time scoring charts with 93 goals in just 143 games. Son Heung-min added his second goal in Black & Gold, scoring just 46 seconds in — the third-fastest goal in club history.
