Brandon Vazquez scored for the third consecutive match, but Austin FC fell 3-1 to LAFC on Wednesday night at BMO Stadium.
Austin had the game’s first big chance when Christian Ramirez nearly put away a knockdown from a corner kick. The sides continued to trade opportunities until LAFC found a breakthrough. Son Heung-Min worked his way into the box and teed up Denis Bouanga for a close-range finish.
Vazquez combined with Myrto Uzuni to equalize in the 66th minute. Uzuni intercepted a pass and played in Vazquez who beat LAFC goalkeeper Hugo Lloris with an accurate low strike.
LAFC would retake the lead moments later though with Bouanga’s second goal of the night, and Son put the result out of reach with another in the 72nd minute.
