LAFC defeated Toronto FC 2-1 on Saturday afternoon in a preseason friendly at the 2023 Coachella Valley Invitational at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, Calif.

Three minutes later, Victor Vasquez scored from outside the 18 yard box, giving Toronto the equalizer. The match would go into the break at 1-1. 

In the second half LAFC kept pressing the attack as newcomer Timothy Tillman would see his first minutes in Black & Gold after replacing Kellyn Acosta in the 70th minute. Bouanga would find the net again, giving LAFC the game-winning goal  for the 2-1 lead in the 75th minute.
