 LOS ANGELES, CA - LAFC scored four first-half goals en route to a 6-2 win over San Jose on Saturday at BMO Stadium.

The victory over the Earthquakes extended its club-record unbeaten streak to ten games. Los Angeles FC improved to 11-4-4 overall on the season.

LAFC took a 1-0 lead when Sergi Palencia sent a cross to Mateusz Bogusz, who connected on the header in the 15th minute. It was Bogusz's 8th goal of the season.

In the 26th minute, Denis Bouanga knocked in a left-footed shot from the center of the box to give LAFC a 2-0 lead. Two minutes later, San Jose almost got one back, but Niko Tsakiris' shot missed high and wide to the left.

LAFC forward Kei Kamara gave LAFC a 3-0 lead in the 3rd minute when he leaped over a defender for the header. Kamara's goal put him ahead of Landon Donovan on the all-time MLS goal list.

The Black and Gold extended the lead to 4-0 on a goal from Ryan Hollingshead in the 42nd minute.
