Kamron Habibullah then gave Vancouver the lead just after resumption.
Bibout equalized five minutes after Vancouver to the lead but Paulo Rudisill made it 3-2 after 59 minutes.

The game finished 4-3, thus earning a first victory for LA Galaxy this season and Bibout’s first hat-trick on US soil.
Bibout was a part of the 2021 generation of Cameroon’s U17 team alongside Cotonsport duo Wassou Goue Patient and Jean Eric Moursou. Carlos Baleba of Lille, Mughe Francois Regis of Olympique Marseille plus Dijon duo Aboubakar Dalbai and Jean Pierre Nkamga all formed a part of that generation assembled by coach Anicet Mbarga Foe for the abandoned U17 Africa Cup of Nations tournament that didn’t happen as planned in Morocco.
