LOS ANGELES (AP) --- Denis Bouanga scored three goals, his fifth career hat
trick in MLS, and Son Heung-min had four assists to help Los Angeles FC beat
Orlando City 6-0 on Saturday night.

game.
Son's cross was redirected into the net by Orlando defender David Brekalo to
give LAFC a 1-0 lead in the seventh minute.

minutes.
Son fed Sergi Palencia for his first goal of the season made it 5-0 in the 39th
and Boyd capped the scoring in the 70th minute with his first MLS goal since
July 13, 2024 for Nashville.
