Son Heung-min scores 1st goal of season and LAFC beats the Galaxy 3-0 in 27th
edition of El Trfico
CARSON, Calif. (AP) --- Son Heung-min scored his first goal of the season,
Denis Bouanga continued his scoring streak in El Trfico and LAFC beat the LA
Galaxy 3-0 on Friday night following an international break for the FIFA World
Cup.
LAFC (8-5-3) evened the all-time series with the Galaxy at 10-10-7. LA (5-6-5)
entered unbeaten in the last three meetings with LAFC.
Mark Delgado, who played for the Galaxy from 2022-24, opened the scoring in the
26th minute. Delgado's initial header was blocked but it came right back to him
for a shot past goalkeeper Novak Micovic.
Bouanga made it 2-0 in first-half stoppage time on a penalty kick that
goalkeeper Novak Micovic got a hand on. Bouanga has scored 11 goals in 10
career matches against the Galaxy across all competitions and has scored in the
last seven meetings, the longest such streak in the rivalry's history.
Heung-min scored in the 57th after getting a pass back from Delgado.
