LAFC’s 2024 season will continue after a chess match against the Vancouver Whitecaps in Los Angeles on Friday night. It was Poland international Mateusz Bogusz who played the hero with his second-half goal to put L.A. ahead for good in the 1-0 win in Game 3 of the best-of-three series to open the MLS Cup Playoffs.
Denis Bouanga, who scored 20 goals in the regular season for LAFC, had a goal-scoring opportunity hit the side-netting in the eighth minute as the hosts looked to pounce early. Despite coming in with all the momentum in their favor after their 3-0 win in Game 2, the Whitecaps were unable to find the net throughout a mostly dominant first half. Brian White had one great shot denied by Hugo Lloris, then went wide left on a second just before halftime.
