LAFC extended its perfect start to the 2026 MLS season with another win at BMO Stadium, defeating St. Louis City SC and moving to 4-0-0 in league play without conceding a goal under new head coach Marc Dos Santos.

The Black & Gold continue to collect points, but the performances raise questions. In this episode, we break down:

• Why LAFC is winning despite quiet stretches from Denis Bouanga and Son Heung‑min

• Bouanga’s missed sitter and Sonny’s evolving role as a No.10

• The breakout night from Mathieu Choinière, who scored twice against St. Louis

• The potential impact of Stephen Eustáquio not playing in the Costa Rica match due to an injury

• Whether LAFC’s attacking output should be a concern despite the results

 

We also preview the decisive second leg against Liga Deportiva Alajuelense in the Concacaf Champions Cup. After a 1-1 first leg in Los Angeles, LAFC must score at least once on the road to stay alive in the tournament.

 

Finally, we look ahead to the weekend MLS trip to Austin FC and discuss whether LAFC’s unbeaten run is sustainable against stronger opposition.
