LAFC showed why they are an unstoppable force in Major League Soccer. With a commanding 3-1 victory over Orlando City, the Los Angeles team extended their impressive streak to eight consecutive wins across all competitions.
Denis Bouanga was the star of the night, scoring two crucial goals that solidified LAFC's victory. His performance not only helped the team secure three more points but also places him alongside names like Messi and Suarez in the MLS top scorers' list. With a total of 12 goals this season, Bouanga establishes himself as one of the standout players not just for LAFC but for the entire league.

But it wasn't just Bouanga shining under Orlando's lights. Mateusz Bogusz, with the decisive goal in the 80th minute, showcased his importance to the team, contributing not only with goals but also crucial assists throughout the season. His consistency has been vital to LAFC's winning trajectory.
Despite conceding a goal in the 69th minute, breaking an impressive streak of over 600 minutes without conceding, the team remained calm.
This strategy has been LAFC's trademark under their coach. The ability to perform well away from home, as demonstrated in this match against Orlando City, is a clear sign of the team's strength and cohesion. LAFC not only secured six consecutive wins in the league but is also just one point behind the top of the Western Conference, with one game in hand over leaders Real Salt Lake.
The next challenge for LAFC will be against Austin FC, in a clash that could be crucial for their leadership ambitions in the Western Conference.
