Oliver Larraz scores a goal for 10-man Whitecaps in 1-1 tie with LAFC
LOS ANGELES (AP) --- Oliver Larraz scored a goal for the 10-man Vancouver
Whitecaps in a 1-1 tie with Los Angeles FC on Saturday night.
Tristan Blackmon was shown a straight red card in the seventh minute and
Vancouver played a man down the rest of the way.
Denis Bouanga scored in the 46th minute for LAFC (11-9-9), which is winless,
with two losses, in four straight.
Yohei Takaoka had three saves for Vancouver (15-7-6). The Whitecaps lead the
Western Conference and are second in MLS with 51 points (Nashville, 63) this
season.
dier Ocampo played an arcing entry pass from the right side to Larraz, whose
header at the front post was parried by diving goalkeeper Hugo Lloris. Larraz
blasted a first-touch putback into the top-net to give the Whitecaps a 1-0 lead
in the 43rd minute. The 25-year-old midfielder scored his first goal since 2024
and his second in four-plus MLS seasons.
Bouanga slammed home a header off a cross played by Sergi Palencia for his 15th
goal this season. Bouanga, a 31-year-old forward, has a goal in three
consecutive games and has scored at least 15 in four consecutive seasons.
