Overview
- San Jose beat LAFC 4-1 at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles on Sunday, snapping the hosts’ unbeaten home run this season.
- A six-minute burst decided it, as Ousseni Bouda scored in the 53rd minute, Timo Werner added his first MLS goal in the 56th, and a Ryan Porteous own goal made it 3-0 in the 59th.
- Bouda finished a brace in the 80th after LAFC pulled one back on a Reid Roberts own goal, and his opener ended Hugo Lloris’ season-long clean-sheet streak that outlets listed at either 593 or 594 minutes.
- The result moved San Jose to 7-1-0 and level on points atop the Western Conference, and it extended their perfect 4-0 road start.
- LAFC dropped to 5-2-1 as coach Marc Dos Santos called his team “very static” and said San Jose looked fresher after LAFC’s midweek Champions Cup match.
