On Episode 396, Scarf takes you through the 1-0 win over Real España, as LAFC advances to play Costa Rican side, and familiar CCC foe, Alajuelense in the next round. Son Heung-min and Denis Bouanga both start and play the first half. Jude Terry and Amin Boudri each make their LAFC debuts, and Nkosi Tafari's first LAFC goal is the difference in the match.
Also on this episode, we chat about Denis Bouanga's extension, keeping him in Black and Gold through at least 2028, as well as taking a look back at This Day in LAFC History.
