It may have taken until extra time, but Denis Bouanga wouldn’t be denied in front of his home fans to push Los Angeles FC to a berth in the FIFA Club World Cup with a 2-1 victory in extra time. After a powerful header from Igor Jesus at the end of regulation tied the match, Bouanga’s efforts secured the win.

After a penalty scored by former LAFC player Brian Rodriguez led Club America to a temporary lead, Bouanga assisted Jesus in the 89th minute to force the match into extra time. LAFC dominated, outshooting Club America 19 to 9 and finding the net only once in open play.

This victory has earned LAFC nearly $10 million in prize money, and they will join teams like Chelsea and Flamengo in Group D of the Club World Cup, which kicks off on June 14. With Club Leon banned from the tournament, LAFC will quickly need to strengthen their squad with the opening of a special transfer window from June 1 to June 10.
