Scores 18th goal in derby
Bouanga scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Los Angeles Galaxy.
Analysis: Bouanga scored once from four shots, putting two on target, while delivering three crosses and taking three corners across the full 90 minutes in Sunday's 2-2 draw with the Galaxy. He struck the crossbar during the first half in a sequence that ended with Son Heung-Min's goal being disallowed for offside, before pulling LAFC back into the match in the 53rd minute by converting the rebound from Armindo Sieb's saved effort. Bouanga has now scored 18 league goals this season and 10 in 10 regular-season meetings with the Galaxy.
Powers LAFC with two goals
Bouanga scored two goals to go with eight shots (four on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 3-1 win against Austin FC.
Analysis: Bouanga scored twice from eight shots, putting four on target, while creating one chance across 90 minutes in Wednesday's 3-1 win over Austin FC. He opened the scoring in the 52nd minute from Son Heung-Min's feed before restoring LAFC's lead only a minute after Austin equalized, converting after Brad Stuver's attempted clearance deflected off Son. Bouanga also headed the ball into Jacob Shaffelburg's path during the build-up to Son's late goal and now has a team-high 17 league goals, including seven over his last eight matches.
