Kamara, signed as a free agent at the end of March, showed his worth with a precise header in the 90th minute, saving the game for LAFC and keeping the team in second place in the Western Conference standings, with a 10-4-4 record and 34 points. That goal was not only crucial to the game, but also marked a historic moment for Kamara, who is now tied with Donovan for second place on the league's all-time scoring list.
The Sierra Leonean's performance was a reminder of his importance and longevity in soccer. Playing for his 11th different MLS club, he continues to be a vital presence in attack, capable of deciding games at the most critical moments. The draw with Austin FC maintained LAFC's unbeaten run and highlighted the team's resilience and ability to fight until the end.
