5 stats that defined LAFC’s sixth straight win — this time over Toronto | OneFootball

Another win. Another clean sheet. Another under.

LAFC kept the momentum rolling with a 2-0 victory over Toronto FC at BMO Stadium on Wednesday night, pushing their winning streak to six games and maintaining a stingy defensive streak that now spans over 300 minutes without conceding.

Here are five stats that tell the story of LAFC’s performance — and what they signal heading into the final stretch of the regular season.

1. Shots on Target: LAFC 6 — Toronto 3 → Efficient Edge

While both sides put up double-digit shot totals (LAFC 16, Toronto 11), the difference came in shot selection and finishing. LAFC put 38% of their shots on frame (6/16), forcing 4 saves and scoring twice. Toronto? Just 27% (3/11) — and none troubled Lloris. Experienced Sean Johnson on the other hand, saved a penalty and ensured his team didn't get torched for more goals during the game.

2. Possession: Just 44% — And It Didn’t Matter

Toronto “won” the possession battle, 56% to 44%, but couldn’t turn it into high-quality chances. In fact, it was confusing at times, with new players like Mihailovic and Cifuentes clearly struggling to find lanes and space with their new team. Partially because LAFC wouldn't let them.

This is becoming a trend: LAFC doesn’t need the ball to dominate. They’ve now won back-to-back games with slightly under 50% possession, and have done so by controlling territory, not just passes.

3. 27 Clearances, 6 Interceptions, 5 Aerial Duels Won → Defensive Grit

This was a grind-it-out win, and the defensive metrics tell the story. LAFC cleared the ball 27 times, intercepted six passes, and won 5 aerial duels. That's 41 defensive actions to Toronto’s 17. That’s a massive physical advantage — and one reason Toronto couldn’t generate anything threatening in the final third.

4. Betting Trend: Another UNDER Hits

That’s now 3 straight UNDERS for LAFC bettors — and 4 in their last 5. The total closed at 2.5 goals, and LAFC took care of business with a clean 2-0 result. For those tracking trends: LAFC is now averaging 2.4 goals for, 0.9 goals against, and 3.3 total goals per match — but recent form is trending lower.

5. 6 Straight Wins, 0 Goals Allowed in Last 3

The headline stat. LAFC is officially the hottest team in MLS right now. Six wins in a row — and in the last three:

• 3-0 vs St. Louis

• 1-0 vs Atlanta

• 2-0 vs Toronto

The club has locked in defensively and is getting A TON of production from Bouanga and Son to handle business up front. With one game to go, LAFC could finish as high as 2nd in the West if other results swing their way.

The Takeaway

This wasn’t a high-possession masterclass — and it took a massive mistake by a former LAFC player to seal the deal, but once again, the opponent seemed puzzled to do anything dangerous to bother Hugo Lloris during the 90 minutes. What we saw once again was a hard-nosed, efficient performance from a team that’s gearing up for playoff football.

LAFC leaned on shape, physicality, and timely execution. The formula is simple: defend, dominate duels, finish your moments.

And the market is noticing.

The money line cashed again. The spread (-1.5) cashed. And sharp bettors saw another UNDER hit. In the futures market, LAFC is now 3rd favorite to win the MLS Cup at +700.

Up next: LAFC close the season with 2 away games at Austin and Colorado, where 2 wins could vault them into a top-2 finish in the West.
