The former Arsenal and AC Milan striker took charge of a free kick from just outside the opponent's box. Giroud then thundered the free-kick at the back of the net giving no chance to the goalkeeper whatsoever.
Earlier, Olivier Giroud scored two goals in other competitions for LAFC, including one in the 2024 U.S. Open Cup final against Sporting Kansas City and another in the 2024 Leagues Cup final against the Columbus Crew.
Olivier Giroud's goal laid the foundation for Los Angeles FC to come back from an early two-goal deficit to secure a 3-3 draw in Portland. David Martinez equalized the score at 2-all in the 64th minute, and Denis Bouanga converted a penalty in the 90th minute to ensure a share of the points. Moving forward, France's all-time top scorer will look to add more goals to his MLS tally and help LAFC claim the Major League Soccer crown.
