Scores goal to ignite comeback Bouanga scored one goal to go with eight shots (five on goal), 13 crosses (two accurate) and six corners in Saturday's 3-1 win over San Jose Earthquakes.

Impact Bouanga scored LAFC's first goal of the game in the 64th minute to ignite the comeback that saw them finish on top of the Western Conference. The forward finished the regular season with 20 goals in 32 games. In this match, he attempted eight shots, which was the joint most he has attempted, doing so on five occasions, and he scored in each of these games.

Assists, misses penalty in win Bouanga provided one assist, missed a penalty and provided nine crosses (three accurate) in Saturday's 3-0 win over Kansas City.

Impact Bouanga now has 28 goal contributions, with this assist being his ninth of the year. Known as a goal scorer, Bouanga looked to up his goal tally to 20 this year, but his penalty in the 14th minute was saved by Tim Melia, though the rebound was slotted home by teammate David Martinez. With the jam packed schedule coming to a close, the 29-year-old should start every game going forward, with how tight the western conference has gotten.

Called up by Gabon Bouanga has been called up by Gabon for the matches against Morocco and Central African Republic, so he'll miss the Oct. 13 game against the Whitecaps.

Impact LAFC will be extremely depleted for the match against the Whitecaps, as Cristian Olivera and David Martinez have also been called up by Uruguay and Venezuela, respectively. No absence is bigger than Bouanga's, however, as the striker has netted 19 goals while adding nine assists this season. This means Olivier Giroud will carry an even bigger responsibility in LAFC's attack for their upcoming match.

Scores winner versus St. Louis Bouanga scored one goal to go with seven shots (four on goal), 10 crosses (five accurate) and eight corners in Wednesday's 1-0 victory against St. Louis City SC.

Impact Bouanga dribbled around the edge of the box until he found the space to fire a well-placed shot, scoring the only goal of Wednesday's clash in first half stoppage time. While that action secured his side all three points, it was a small reward for the number of attacking opportunities he was involved in. He also had several set pieces, which has been the case in the last two games without Eduard Atuesta on the field. With 19 goals and eight assists in the current MLS season, Bouanga is now tied with Lionel Messi and Christian Benteke as the league's third-highest contributor.

Saves day with clutch goal Bouanga scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 2-1 victory versus FC Cincinnati.

Impact Another game, another goal from Bouanga that saves LAFC in a closed match. The striker continues to show why he's one of the most deadly strikers in the league, and Bouanga is now up to 18 goals with eight assists on the season. He's having another stellar year in 2024 as the go-to player in LAFC's attack, which is impressive considering the team also has Kei Kamara and Olivier Giroud as goalscoring alternatives.

Ineffective in draw Bouanga had four shots (zero on goal) and three crosses (zero accurate) in Wednesday's 1-1 draw versus Austin FC.

Impact Bouanga failed to record a single shot on target or a chance created in Wednesday's draw, the first time this season he has not recorded at least one of either. It was an oddly quiet performance from him, but he still had chances to score so there is no real long-term concern. He will look to bounce back Saturday at FC Dallas.

Scores in loss Bouanga scored one goal to go with four shots (three on goal) in Saturday's 4-2 loss to Los Angeles Galaxy.

Impact Bouanga notched his 17th goal of the season in the 15th minute as he scored from short-range off a very difficult angle. His goal was remarkable as he was seemingly running out of space, and instead of looking for a cross he shot between the goalkeeper's legs and into the back of the net.

SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Starts Saturday Bouanga (not injury related) is in the starting XI for Saturday's derby against Los Angeles Galaxy.

Impact Bouanga is one of his side's main attacking threats in this match after spending the last few days with the Gabon national team. He should be able to produce from the left flank, having scored three goals and one assist over his last six MLS appearances in that position.

SEPTEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Summoned by Gabon Bouanga has been added to the Gabon national team call ups for their upcoming 2025 African Cup of Nations and will not make the trip to Houston on Saturday.

Impact Bouanga is still putting up consistent goals for LAFC for a second straight season in a row. He's bagged 16 goals with eight assists in 26 appearances, starting in all of them while also collecting 122 shots (44 on target), making him one of the most effective forwards in the league. His absence means that Olivier Giroud could make his first start for the team since joining from AC Milan in the offseason.
