Bouanga put the game away with a goal in the 87th minute, with his third goal giving him 20 on the season.
Judd kept up the hot early pace when he scored in the 18th minute off a pass from former LAFC forward Cristian Arango. It was Judd's seventh goal of the season. LAFC gave up an own goal in the 90th minute when Palencia deflected a cross into his own net.
