In the first of two consecutive games between Real Salt Lakers and Los Ángeles Football Club, Son Heung.min ended with a hat trick in a 4-1 win over Real Salt Lakers. The fourth goal came to the current Black and Gold goal scorer Denis Bouanga.

A 4-3-3 formation, that seem more like today’s opponents formation had Hugo Lloris between the pipes; Rayan Hollingshead and Sergi Palencia out side; Ryan Porteous anf Nkasi Tafari as central defenders; Eddie Segura, Mark Delgado and Mathieu Choinere as central midfielders; Timothy Tillman as an offensive one: and a powerful attack with Son Heung.min and Denis Bouanga.

Son Heung-min, who makes soccer look easy, scored twice in the first half. The first at the third minute after a flipped pass by the third man in offense Timothy Tilman in a counter attack. The second, and perhaps his best goal thus far as a Blaxk and Gold player, scored with a long-distance shot, this at the 16 minute.

The hat trick for Son was completed at the 82nd minute with another counter attack and an assist by Denis Bouanga. In a very unselfish way, the Gabonese star placed the bell to Son in front of an empty goal.

A failed penalty, a bicycle kick goal and a red card were Real Salt Lake’s response to LAFC’s effectiveness. Team Cruz placed the penalty shot in the right post. At the 76th minute, a good sequence of passes ended with a great bicycle kick by Zavier Gozo. With the eminent defeat, Tyler Wolff received a red card after a collision in the area and an elbow over

Bouanga was able to place his name in the scoring sheet, this at the 89 minute and with an assist by Mark Delgado. Thus and with 95 goals, Denis Bouanga becomes LAFC’s top scorer surpassing Carlos Vela.

Speaking of the current second goal scorer in the Black and Gold history, a tribute will be given in the next game at BMO Stadium. Los Angeles Football Club and Real Salt Lake will face once again this Sunday.
