Los Angeles FC (LAFC) extended their win streak to five games with a 2-1 victory over the Vancouver Whitecaps, who are struggling to secure their playoff position. LAFC's David Bogusz opened the scoring just one minute into the match, marking his 16th goal of the season, before Vancouver equalized in the 63rd minute through a free kick by Sebastian Berhalter. However, the Whitecaps could not hold on, as LAFC's Hugo Lloris made crucial saves, including a shot from Brian White, and the game-winning goal came in stoppage time. Despite LAFC's strong performance, Vancouver remains winless in their last six matches and faces pressure to avoid a play-in game for the postseason. LAFC now sits second in the Western Conference, while Vancouver's playoff hopes are in jeopardy as they lack key players due to international call-ups.
