San Diego FC secured a 1-0 away victory against Los Angeles FC at BMO Stadium. The decisive moment occurred in the 89th minute when Anders Dreyer converted a penalty kick following a handball by LAFC defender Ryan Porteous.

San Diego goalkeeper CJ dos Santos played a crucial role in the win, recording three key saves to maintain a clean sheet. Despite the victory, Dreyer was sent off in stoppage time after receiving a second yellow card for a foul on Son Heung-min, which will result in a suspension for San Diego’s next match.
