Match report
Los Angeles FC and Angola drew 2-2 after Angola led 2-0 and then saw that lead wiped out. Joseph Paintsil scored twice for the visitors, while Denis Bouanga and Leo Walta brought the home side back level.
Los Angeles FC thought they had taken an early lead in the 28th minute through Bouanga, but VAR ruled the goal out. Angola then moved ahead in the 34th minute when Paintsil finished from Robert Taylor’s assist, before he made it 2-0 on 51 minutes for his second of the match. Bouanga pulled one back two minutes later, and Walta equalised in the 62nd minute. The half-time score was Los Angeles FC 0-1 Angola.
The home side made a double change on 66 minutes, with Igor Jesus and Marky Delgado going off for Mathieu Choinière, Sergio Vasquez and Nkosi Tafari. Angola answered with two changes on 67 minutes, sending on Lucas Agustin·Sanabria Magole and Lucas Felipe·Calegari, then later replaced Joseph Paintsil with Jakob Glesnes on 73 minutes and Glesnes with Maya Yoshida on 90 minutes. LAFC finished with 57% possession, 564 passes and 21 shots to Angola’s 10, while also leading 12-1 for corners and 2.4 to 1.74 on xG.
