⚡️ LAFC stun the Galaxy with scorching El Tráfico start

It might just be over before it started as LAFC have nabbed an early advantage in the highly-anticipated derby showdown in Los Angeles this evening.

The two teams put out star-studded lineups in a top-two showdown in the Western Conference, but it was LAFC who stunned the Carson crowd inside four minutes.

Capping off a move that started all the way back in their own half, Mateusz Bogusz headed home a deflected cross to open the scoring.

Shortly after the opener, Denis Bouanga joined his teammate on the scoresheet by slotting from an acute angle, sparking a party in the away end.

The Black and Gold are hunting down their local rivals, and the live standings show the gap between the two teams cut to just one point.

There is more than just bragging rights on the line in Southern California tonight!
