What happened: LAFC revisited the day Denis Bouanga opened his scoring account for the club in the same result that sealed the Supporters' Shield. He is now coming off Sept. 19, when he set LAFC's regular-season goals record in a 2-2 draw at San Jose.

Why it matters: The reminder lands with LAFC still fighting for position near the top half of the Western Conference table. Bouanga's scoring output remains one of the clearest indicators of how dangerous the club can be down the stretch.

By the numbers: LAFC was sixth in the West with 41 points on Oct. 1. Bouanga set the club's regular-season goals record on Sept. 19, and that match finished 2-2 at San Jose.

What to watch: Watch whether Bouanga keeps adding to that record as LAFC pushes toward the postseason. The next few results will show whether the club can turn that scoring form into a stronger finish.
