Gabon national team forward Denis Bouanga struggled to find the net at first after arriving at Major League Soccer club LAFC but after scoring against Portland Timbers in the final regular season match, Bouanga came up huge at a crucial time. LAFC took on city rivals Los Angeles Galaxy Thursday night and the former Saint-Étienne star had a hand in all three goals for the home side, scoring twice before having his shot saved to set up Christian Arango’s dramatic late winner. LAFC advance to the Western Conference Finals where they will face the winner of the matchup between FC Dallas and Austin FC.
