Summary
LAFC have dropped to 12th in the MLS power rankings following a 2-2 draw with San Jose Earthquakes. Son's long-range effort gave them the lead, and Bouanga's second-half strike extended their advantage to 2-0, but the Earthquakes equalised late on. Son registered his 13th assist despite the result.
The MLS has highlighted LAFC's struggles, with just one win in the past two months. Sixth in the Western Conference, they risk losing home playoff advantage if they cannot turn their form around in their remaining fixtures.
