Goals by Denis Bouanga, Nathan Ordaz and Javairo Dilrosun carried LAFC to a 3-0 win over the Colorado Rapids on Wednesday at BMO Stadium, snapping a four-game winless streak in all competition.
The victory, LAFC’s first in more than month, pushed the team into sixth place in the MLS Western Conference standings. Colorado, meanwhile, was undone by a pair of first-half mistakes.
The first came in the sixth minute when left back Jackson Travis drew a red card from referee Jair Marrufo for a reckless challenge on LAFC defender Sergi Palencia, who caught an elbow in the face going for a 50-50 ball.
