  "account": "LOS ANGELES (AP) — In a thrilling match-up, Denis Bouanga scored a late goal for Los Angeles FC, securing a 1-1 draw against the Portland Timbers. The match saw the Timbers trailing for 75 minutes before Bouanga equalized in the second half, assisted by teammates Jude Terry and Aaron Long. Despite James Pantemis' impressive performance, keeping the score tied with his 11th goal of the season, Bouanga's late strike proved decisive. Portland's Vincent Janssen received yellow cards in the 89th minute and during stoppage time, leaving the Timbers with a man down. Hugo Lloris made a notable save for LAFC, while the Timbers topped their last visit to BMO Stadium, leading the all-time series 7-6-8.",
