Anders Dreyer, CJ dos Santos spark San Diego to 1-0 victory over LAFC
On Saturday night, San Diego FC secured a 1-0 victory over LAFC, marking the first match of the season for the San Diego team. Anders Dreyer was the hero of the game, netting the winning penalty kick in the 89th minute. It was Dreyer's eighth goal of the season and his 27th career appearance. San Diego's goalkeeper, CJ dos Santos, played a crucial role in the win by keeping a clean sheet.
He made three crucial saves, earning his first shutout in six starts this season. In contrast, LAFC's goalkeeper, Hugo Lloris, saved one shot during the match. LAFC had recently piled up 11 goals in their previous four matches before this loss. Son Heung-min, LAFC's star player, missed his fourth match with a goal, ending his streak.
This victory came after a back-and-forth match, as LAFC had managed to rally from a two-goal deficit in a previous match against San Diego, earning a 2-2 draw in April.
