Another night at BMO, another bit of history made by LAFC in what has rounded into an extremely successful first half-ish of the season for the Black and Gold. The home unbeaten streak continues, and you can hear all about it here on Episode 310!
It was a bit of a sluggish first half for LAFC, but we were able to get on the board in the 20' behind the connection that has powered the offense to the top of the West, Denis Bouanga and Mateusz Bogusz. After a beautiful buildup including an exquisite through ball from Ilie, Denis picks out Matty on the far post. Both the ball and Bogusz tumble into the goal for the lead, 1-0.
Before the hour mark, LAFC double their lead behind another Bogusz banger, this one coming off a deflected Denis attempt. Zack Steffen was caught flat-footed, and LAFC was up two. Just a few minutes later, Kevin Cabral would be shown his second yellow for the Rapids, making any comeback all the more unlikely.
A third from Bogusz, off the best buildup of the night, quieted the waters in Colorado, put the boys up 3-0, and cemented an historic night for Matty, becoming just the 6th player in club history with a hat trick. Hugo kept it clean for his 8th of the season.
Also on this episode, Filly is still on vacay mode, David Martinez makes his return, and the Rose Bowl awaits. Enjoy Episode 310!
