Denis Bouanga scores twice to propel LAFC to a 4-2 victory over the playoff-spot-chasing Galaxy squad in the latest edition of the El Tráfico rivalry.
Ryan Hollingshead nearly died when a car hit him in 2017. The LAFC midfielder is thankful he can still play soccer and is capitalizing on his second chance.That stands in contrast with LAFC . Despite the recent slide, the defending MLS champions are second in the table after Saturday’s win.
The game may mark a turnaround for Bouanga, whose two goals ended a two-month drought and gave him a share of the MLS scoring lead with 14. He got LAFC started Saturday, giving it a short-lived lead in the 24th minute when he sliced between Galaxy center backs Chris Mavinga and Maya Yoshida to get on the end of a Diego Palacios’ cross and head it home from the edge of the six-yard box. It was Bouanga’s first MLS goal in more than two months, though he would score another in the second half and Mavinga was involved in that one too.
Eric Smith hadn’t even finished announcing Bouanga’s first score over the stadium’s PA system before Billy Sharp tied the game for the Galaxy, taking a heel pass from Diego Fagúndez as he dashed into the box, then beating Crepeau cleanly for his third goal in five MLS games.
