Following a 3-0 victory over the Colorado Rapids on August 23, San Diego FC climbed to 11th in the Western Conference with 27 points. Coach Mikey Varas emphasized the necessity of maintaining momentum and commitment to secure a playoff position. By early September, the club’s standing improved to ninth, placing them in the final MLS Cup Playoff wild-card spot. Despite this progress, the team faced a challenge following a 1-0 loss to Orlando City. Varas stated the squad is “on a mission” to find consistency and secure points during the final stretch of the season. San Diego prepared to host the sixth-place San Jose Earthquakes at Snapdragon Stadium for a critical matchup. While San Jose holds a five-point lead over San Diego, the club enters the contest looking to leverage a strong home record, having won its last five games at Snapdragon Stadium. San Jose entered the match following a 1-1 draw against Austin FC, where coach Bruce Arena noted the team's need to improve their ability to close out games. In their subsequent meeting, the San Jose Earthquakes secured a 3-2 victory over San Diego FC. The win, driven by a strong first-half performance, moved San Jose up to fourth in the standings after a period of eight winless matches. San Diego coach Mikey Varas apologized to fans for a lackluster defensive performance that saw the team concede three goals in the first half. As the postseason approaches, San Diego faces increased pressure to find the consistency required to maintain their playoff hopes.
