Soccer MLS Game Results June 7th 2025

Timbers Rally Past St. Louis City in Stoppage Time

On June 8, the Portland Timbers staged a dramatic late comeback to defeat visiting St. Louis City SC 2–1. David Ayala met Santiago Moreno’s curling corner in second-half stoppage time to send his first-time volley into the bottom-left corner, capping off a comeback that kept Portland’s playoff hopes alive.

James Pantemis was stellar between the posts, finishing with seven saves to keep the Timbers in the match after Akil Watts gave City the lead early in the second half. Portland’s persistence paid off when Antony drew the hosts level, setting the stage for Ayala’s late heroics.

Watts opened the scoring in the 50th minute, hammering a rebound through traffic after a partial clearance by the Timbers back line. It was his first goal of the season and briefly put City in front under interim head coach David Critchley. City had controlled much of the match’s opening hour, but Portland’s energy and belief never waned.

Bouanga Brace Propels LAFC Past Sporting KC

Los Angeles FC extended their MLS unbeaten run to nine games with a 3–1 victory over visiting Sporting Kansas City on June 8. Los Angeles FC leaned on Denis Bouanga’s leadership—two goal contributions—and clinical finishing to see off a youthful SKC side.

Sporting KC struck first through Dejean Joveljic in the 39th minute, his 10th goal of the season. Cutting inside from the left wing, he unleashed a low drive past Hugo Lloris, giving the visitors a brief advantage.

LAFC responded before the break when Eddie Segura nodded home Bouanga’s corner in first-half stoppage time. The hosts seized control in the 59th minute as Bouanga converted a penalty after being fouled in the box, putting LAFC ahead for good. Olivier Giroud added insurance in second-half stoppage time to seal the win.
