Takes three shots in win Opoku took three shots in Saturday's 3-0 victory against Austin FC.

Impact Opoku has taken 14 shots (five on target) with six chances created as he's started all six of LAFC's MLS matches along the attacking line. That production is not disappointing by any means, but only scoring one goal thus far might open an opportunity to get benched as the competition for forward spots is so high among the defending champions' ranks, with Carlos Vela, Denis Bouanga and winter signing Stipe Biuk all stars in their own rights as well.

Ends season as backup Opoku scored eight goals and added three assists in 37 MLS appearances (20 starts) this season for LAFC.

Impact Opoku had a breakout season for the Supporters' Shield and MLS Cup winners in 2022, even though he lost the starting job on the left wing to new arrival Denis Bouanga in August. Still, the 21-year-old got consistent minutes off the bench even in a crowded front line that contains Carlos Vela, Cristian Arango, Gareth Bale and Cristian Tello in addition to Bouanga, and Opoku should continue getting opportunities to shine during the next campaign.

He snuck past the United defense on the break in the 67th minute and had little difficulty firing home the game's lone score off a Cristian Arango assist. This now represents the second game in a row the 21-year-old attacker has come off the bench following five straight appearances in the starting XI. Given how crowded and talented LAFC's forward room has gotten, his status as a starter will likely change from week-to-week.
