Just when we thought LAFC couldn't possibly play any worse, Denis Bouanga went and did something like that... and TOTALLY REDEEMED THEMSELVES! After an absolute stinker of a performance for the first 95+ minutes of the first leg of the CCL final against Leon, a stunner at the death for Denis Bouanga and LAFC makes the 2-1 loss seem a little less awful, and the patch to CCL victory a whole lot less daunting! It was a beautiful sequence, as Denil Maldonado, Carlos Vela, Sergi Palencia, the heel of Mati Bogusz, and then the golden boot of Denis Bouanga finally broke through in Mexico!Let's not mince words. If not for the heroic effort of John McCarthy, LAFC could have very easily given up four or five goals tonight. But we didn't! And now the scene shifts to the friendly confines of BMO Stadium, a house of horrors for Leon (see: 2020). June 4, we have everything to play for! Also on Episode 254, Scarf apologizes for his hubris, Filly has Scarf on the brain, and Denis earns a free beer courtesy of a Leon supporter. It wasn't at all pretty, or even that much fun to watch, but we made it out with our CCL title dreams intact!
