Carlos Vela scored one goal and assisted another in his first match since he incurred a leg injury early this month and Los Angeles FC romped to a 4–0 victory over the visiting Colorado Rapids on Wednesday night, August 23.

Mateusz Bogusz and Ryan Hollingshead also scored before halftime for LAFC (11–6–7, 40 points) in a game that was postponed from Saturday because of the impact of Hurricane Hilary in Southern California over the weekend.
