Heung-Min Son and Denis Bouanga shine in LAFC's 3-0 victory over St. Louis

South Korean Heung-Min Son maintained his impressive pace that has made him one of the players to watch in Major League Soccer (MLS) by leading the 0-3 victory over St. Louis City with two goals and where the French-Gabonese Denis Bouanga contributed with a goal.

A complete performance from the former Tottenham Hotspur star, who moved like a fish in water since his arrival in California and where he now increased his goal quota to three games, demonstrating that the Los Angeles team was not wrong in betting on his services as a franchise player.

But Heung-Min Son has proven to be so intelligent in generating an atmosphere of camaraderie and unity with his teammates that he had the French-Gabonese Denis Bouanga as an effective partner to put together a party that ended with the victory of the visiting team.

The details of the victory

Precisely Denis Bouanga was the most active player in the first 15 minutes of action with several arrivals until the 14th minute with a shot from outside the area on the right that beat the goal of the local squad to get a goal that put all the Angelenos more united under the same objective with the 0-1.

The goal of the French Gabonese encouraged the arrivals of LAFC until shortly before the end of the first half came the first goal of Son when he was assisted by the Ukrainian Artem Smolyakov to define with a low and crossed shot that beat the Swiss goalkeeper Roman Burki at minute 45 + 3 to put the score at 0-2.

Slight local reaction, but ...

In the second half, St. Louis tried to put together a rebellion to be able to reduce the score, but their mistakes were constant, preventing them from achieving their goals, and they were unable to take advantage of the fact that the Los Angeles team was left without its starting goalkeeper due to an injury to Frenchman Hugo Lloris and was replaced by Thomas Hasal.

And as they say in baseball, after the mistakes come the hit and the run, the South Korean forward appeared again to score his double in the 59th minute to silence the St. Louis stadium for the 0-3.

In the final minutes, LAFC moved several pieces to give them rest, while St. Louis missed chances from Joao Klauss and Totland who arrived with a certain advantage, but without being able to have the composure to score the goal that would make the result more decent.
