Best team of the Western Conference last season (before an elimination in the conference semi-finals by Seattle), the Los Angeles FC does not make a good start to the 2025 exercise. The Californian club Hugo Lloris and Olivier Giroud is only 8th in the classification of his conference after 10 days of MLS, with a balance sheet of 4 victories, 2 draws and 4 defeats after his point. Louis City (2-2), Sunday afternoon in the City of Angels.
Author of his very first goal in 20 Major League Soccer matches a week ago against the Portland Timbers (3-3), with a superb free kick, Giroud chained in the eleven Angelino on Sunday at home but could not convert his only opportunity of the meeting before being replaced from the 68th minute of the game, while visitors came to open the scorus (52nd).
The end of the meeting was quite crazy at the BMO Stadium. Denis Bouanga equalized (70th) before missing a penalty a quarter of an hour from the end (75th), then the Missouri team was reduced to 10 after a red card (83rd) but took the advantage in the 89th minute!
The failed exit of Lloris
On an eccentric free kick, Lloris has somewhat missed out. The fist stretched, the former captain of the Blues did not touch the ball, who rebounded on the shoulder of Simon becher. Joakim Nilsson was countered against the goal of the LAFC but Nathan Ordaz scored against his camp. The French goalkeeper is living a very difficult season for the moment. He collected three goals in three games in recent weeks, against San Diego, the Inter Miami of Lionel Messi and Portland. And the Californian training won only over its last five games once.
It was finally Denis Bouanga who saved a point for the Los Angeles FC at the end of additional time, with a force strike (95th). The Gabonese international was launched by Cengiz ünder before making a small festival in the opposing surface. On his first goal, the native of Le Mans had already taken advantage of a superb Center of the Turkish left -hander who passed by OM to score.
