San Diego FC secured a 3-1 victory over Los Angeles Galaxy on Saturday night, with rookie forward Amahl Pellegrino adding valuable insurance late in the game. The match kicked off with rookie Elias Achouri putting San Diego ahead in the 11th minute, marking his second goal in four appearances for the team.
