Four chances created in victory Bouanga generated three shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and four chances created in Sunday's 1-0 win versus Seattle Sounders FC.

Impact Bouanga was denied in the 15th minute by a crucial Kim Kee-Hee block and was taken off before the decisive moment, with coach Marc Dos Santos opting for Tyler Boyd to bring fresh legs and added explosiveness out wide. Bouanga closes out the first half of the season as LAFC's leading scorer with six goals and two assists across 14 appearances. He heads into the World Cup break standing out as one of the most productive forwards in the Western Conference over the opening stretch of the campaign.

Impact Bouanga was active per usual in the attack, notching his sixth goal and fourth assist of the 2026 campaign. After exploding for over 20 goals in each of the last three seasons, we can expect to continue to see Bounga's name on the scoresheet throughout 2026. Up next is a Western Conference clash at home against the Seattle Sounders on Sunday.

Clears suspension Bouanga is no longer suspended and is an option moving forward for the club.

Impact Bouanga has served his suspension due to yellow cards accumulation in the MLS and is set to return in the next contest. The forward is an undisputed starter on the left wing for the Black and Gold and will claim back that role in Wednesday's clash against St. Louis.

Serving ban against Houston Bouanga is suspended for Sunday's fixture against Houston Dynamo because of yellow card accumulation, according to his club's player status report.

Impact Bouanga is facing his first absence of the 2026 MLS campaign, reducing his team's attacking talent and options to take set pieces. Timothy Tillman is expected to benefit from the situation by moving to a significant role on the left wing, with David Martinez and Son Heung-Min completing the front line. The next chance for Bouanga to play will come in a May 13 visit to St. Louis City. Until then, he'll remain with five goals and one assist over 11 league matches this season.

Impact Bouanga found the net in the 82nd minute of Saturday's 2-2 draw at San Diego, taking Son Heung-Min's pass from a tough angle and rifling it home to cut the deficit to 2-1 and spark a wild finish at Snapdragon Stadium. He stayed active throughout the night with two shots on target, three crosses and a tackle, and finally snapped a four-game scoring drought in league play.

Four shots on target in win Bouanga had four shots (four on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 1-0 win over Minnesota United.

Impact Bouanga got the start in Saturday's 1-0 MLS road win over Minnesota United but couldn't find the back of the net, putting four shots on target from four attempts without breaking through as LAFC clearly managed the game with Wednesday's Concacaf Champions Cup semifinal first leg against Toluca in mind. Even with that massive matchup looming, the Gabonese winger still logged the full 90 minutes and never came off the field. Bouanga now sits on four goals through 10 MLS appearances, and while the production hasn't fully matched the volume, his 34 shots in 10 matches shows he's consistently getting into dangerous spots.

Impact Bouanga buried a hat trick in an electric eight-minute first-half explosion, finding the net in the 20th, 23rd and 28th minutes off three straight Son Heung-Min assists to give LAFC a 4-0 lead before the half-hour mark. The Gabonese forward and Son became the first teammate duo in MLS history to combine for involvement in four goals in a single half, and Bouanga now has four goals in six MLS appearances this season, finally getting back on the scoresheet after an international break that likely did him some good.

Four shots in draw Bouanga had four shots (one on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Austin FC.

Impact Bouanga gave LAFC its most dangerous open-play spark after halftime, first bursting forward in transition in the 50th minute but pulling his left-footed shot wide across goal. He also tested Brad Stuver in first-half stoppage time with a driven shot on frame, and his movement kept Austin on its heels late even though the finishing touch never came. Bouanga still hasn't gotten back on the scoresheet since the opener, staying quiet over the last four games despite racking up 15 shots and three chances created.
