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 recorded three key saves to maintain a clean sheet.

However, Dreyer was sent off in stoppage time after receiving a second yellow card for a foul on Son Heung-min, resulting in a suspension for San Diego’s next match. For LAFC, the loss ended a period of momentum as the team struggled to capitalize on scoring opportunities from players including Son Heung-min and Denis Bouanga.

San Diego FC is set to face the Portland Timbers in a Western Conference matchup with significant playoff implications. Due to his suspension, influential winger Anders Dreyer will be unavailable for the match. Head coach Mikey Varas noted that while Dreyer is a key player, his absence provides an opportunity for other squad members to step up. Both San Diego and Portland are currently level on points, with Portland in 10th place and San Diego in 12th, making the upcoming fixture critical for playoff contention.
