Los Angeles Football Club edged Atlanta United 1–0 on Sunday at BMO Stadium in an MLS Regular Season match decided by a late goal.
LAFC dominated possession early, with Denis Bouanga missing wide in the 6′ and Son Heung-Min seeing his shot blocked in the 17′. Eddie Segura picked up a yellow card in the 18′. Bouanga and Son both forced saves in the 21′, while Atlanta earned a corner in the 22′ and Miguel Almirón had a shot blocked in the 43′.
The second half followed a similar pattern, with Marco Delgado testing the goalkeeper in the 57′ before Atlanta's Bartosz Slisz forced a save in the 58′. The momentum shifted in the 70′ when Slisz struck the right post from distance, coming agonizingly close to breaking the deadlock.
Bouanga finally found the breakthrough in the 86′, finishing from the center of the box to give LAFC the lead. Slisz received a yellow card in the 90+3′ as Atlanta's frustration mounted in the closing moments.
Goal: D. Bouanga vs. ATL, 86'
