LAFC motivated by another chance to solve Houston puzzle

The end of the first block of games for the Los Angeles Football Club comes Saturday in Houston, a leg of the Texas circuit that has generally been miserable for them the past few seasons.

“Last time we won in Houston was in 2019. That’s six years ago, so it tells you a lot,” head coach Marc Dos Santos said Friday. “It tells you how difficult it is to go there and win the game.”

The Dynamo is the only conference foe that Denis Bouanga, the MLS’ leading scorer the past three years, has not hit with a front flip.
