Louis City SC, 2-0 , thanks to Mathieu Choinière's brace on Saturday evening at BMO Stadium. The Black & Gold became the first team to reach the 12-point mark this season, staying unbeaten all-time against St. Louis (5-0-2).
Additionally, LAFC became just the third team in the last 10 years to win at least its first four matches of a season. They joined the company of St. Louis City (2023) and the Vancouver Whitecaps (2025).
"I think the coaches give us all the confidence that we need to continue forward," said Choinière after the victory. "We know that [Bouanga and Son] are going to attract people, so we're gonna have space in front of us. " Following a scoreless first 70 minutes of the match in which neither side managed to capitalize on its opportunities, Choinière finally broke the ice.
