SEATTLE — Denis Bouanga scored on a first-half penalty kick before adding a second-half goal and LAFC snapped the Seattle Sounders’ five-match win streak with a 3-0 victory on Saturday night.

LAFC (14-5-5) took a 1-0 lead just 16 minutes into the match after a hand ball foul on Seattle defender Nouhou Tolo following a video review led to Bouanga’s PK.

Mateusz Bogusz gave LAFC a two-goal lead when he scored unassisted in the 26th minute off a set piece. It was his 13th goal of the season.
