A star-studded crowd packed the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, but it was the home side that provided the fireworks as Los Angeles Football Club delivered a stunning 3-0 defeat to reigning MLS Cup champions Inter Miami in the marquee opening match of the 2026 campaign.
All eyes were on Inter Miami's global icon Lionel Messi, but LAFC effectively silenced the visitors' attack from the outset. The breakthrough came in the 25th minute when striker Denis Bouanga calmly converted a penalty, setting the tone for a commanding performance. The lead was doubled just before halftime as Tottenham Hotspur's visiting star Son Heung-min, featured in a special guest appearance, expertly finished a swift counter-attack.
LAFC maintained relentless pressure in the second half, with Bouanga securing his brace and sealing the emphatic victory in the 68th minute. The comprehensive performance showcased LAFC's potent attacking threat and defensive solidity, sending a powerful statement to the league. While the spotlight often follows Messi, this night unequivocally belonged to the Black and Gold, who served notice that they are immediate contenders for the title this season. The decisive win in front of over 75,673 fans creates massive momentum for LAFC as they look ahead to their upcoming fixtures.
