🚨 San Jose Earthquakes deliver statement victory over LAFCSan Jose Earthquakes have defeated LAFC 4-1 on Sunday's marquee Western Conference clash in Major League Soccer.Scorers: Bouda 53', 80', Werner 56', Porteous 59' (OG) ; Roberts 74' (OG)San Jose started the match on the front-foot as Ousseni Bouda forced a point-blank, reaction save from Hugo Lloris inside two minutes.After a slow start, LAFC improved as the half went on. However, there was little to separate both sides as they went into the break scoreless.Early in the second-half, Son struck well-timed volley on the edge of the box, but the South Korean's effort was saved by San Jose goalkeeper Daniel.Five minutes later, Timo Werner found Ousseni Bouda for an unmarked finish at the back-post.The goal ended Lloris' run of 593 consecutive minutes without conceding, the fourth longest streak in league history.Moments later, the former Germany international skipped past the challenge of Nkosi Tafari and fired past Hugo Lloris to double the visitor's lead.The Quakes added a third goal in six minutes through an own-goal from Ryan Porteous.The hosts responded through another own-goal before Bouda completed his brace to put the match beyond LAFC's reach.At full-time, San Jose moved joint-top of the Western Conference on 21 points, extending their lead over third-place LAFC.Having lost 11 of their previous 13 away matches vs LAFC, the Quakes have now won all four of their matches on the road this season.LAFC, on the other hand, never quite seemed to get going – perhaps still recovering from Tuesday's Concacaf Champions Cup battle against Cruz Azul.
