Anders Dreyer, CJ dos Santos spark San Diego to 1-0 victory over LAFC
Anders Dreyer scored in the 89th minute after a video review, and CJ dos Santos made three saves for San Diego FC's first shutout in six starts.
- On Saturday at BMO Stadium, San Diego FC defeated Los Angeles Football Club 1-0, ending the Black & Gold's eight-match unbeaten streak. Danish forward Anders Dreyer converted an 89th-minute penalty kick to secure the victory.
- The deciding penalty resulted from a handball foul by LAFC center back Ryan Porteous while defending a corner kick. Moroccan referee Ismail Elfath, after reviewing the play on the monitor, ruled the ball struck the Scottish defender's raised hand.
- San Diego goalkeeper CJ Dos Santos earned his first shutout in six starts this season, while Dreyer recorded his eighth goal of the year. The match remained scoreless through 45 minutes with few chances.
- Following the loss, LAFC—recently eliminated from the Leagues Cup tournament—faces immediate consequences. Dreyer will miss San Diego's next match after receiving a second yellow card for a hard foul on Son Heung-min during stoppage time.
- LAFC travels to face the Colorado Rapids on Wednesday, seeking to rebound after the defeat. Son Heung-min's four-match scoring streak ended Saturday, and the team returns home next weekend to host Portland.

LAFC loses late against San Diego FC
In another budding Southern California rivalry, this one between LAFC and San Diego FC, the main factor in this match was VAR. Not that that was a bad thing, certainly not in this match.
