Burkina Faso forward Ousseni Bouda hits brace as San Jose thrash LAFC

Burkina Faso forward Ousseni Bouda scored twice as the San Jose Earthquakes secured a commanding 4-1 victory over Los Angeles FC, ending goalkeeper Hugo Lloris’s long run without conceding.

The result marked a significant moment in the match, with Lloris seeing his clean sheet streak come to an end after 593 minutes.

The French goalkeeper had maintained an impressive record prior to facing San Jose, but Bouda’s clinical finishing proved decisive in breaking that sequence.

The breakthrough came early in the second half when Bouda capitalised on attacking play initiated by Timo Werner.

The Burkinabe striker converted in the 53rd minute to give San Jose the lead, setting the tone for the remainder of the contest.

San Jose continued to dominate as the game progressed, and Bouda added his second goal late on.

Finding space once again, he struck in the 80th minute to extend his side’s advantage and complete a memorable personal performance in a comprehensive win.

The victory underlined San Jose’s strong form in the league, with Bouda emerging as a key contributor in the attacking line.

His brace not only helped secure all three points but also highlighted his growing influence within the squad.

Bouda’s latest display takes his tally to four goals in eight matches, a return that reflects his consistency in front of goal.

His performances have coincided with San Jose’s rise in the standings, with the team now level at the top of the table alongside Vancouver Whitecaps on 21 points.

The emphatic win over Los Angeles FC reinforces San Jose’s credentials as one of the early contenders this season, while Bouda’s contribution continues to attract attention as he builds momentum in the campaign.
