Cristian Olivera scores 2 goals, Denis Bouanga adds 3 assists as LAFC beats Whitecaps 3
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Cristian Olivera scored two goals, the 22-year-old’s first multi-goal game in MLS, Denis Bouanga added three assists and Los Angeles FC beat the Vancouver Whitecaps 3-0 Saturday night
Bouanga, on the left side, ran onto a ball played by Eduard Atuesta and drilled a line-drive cross to Olivera for a one-touch finish to give LAFC a 1-0 lead in the 18th minute.
Bouanga again found Olivera to make it 2-0 in the 36th. Atuesta’s through ball led Bouanga down the left side before he beat two defenders as he worked to the goal line and then played an entry to Olivera for a volley from point-blank range.
Vancouver (5-3-3) had its three=game unbeaten snapped and lost for just the second time in its last seven matches.
Hugo Lloris had four saves for LAFC and recorded his third shutout of the season. The 37-year-old, who captained France to a World Cup title in 2018 and was a longtime club captain and icon at Tottenham Hotspur, had conceded 13 goals across six starts since his last clean sheet on March 23, a 5-0 win over Nashville.
