com/Allj2BSKM6 — San Diego FC (@sandiegofc) March 23, 2026 SDFC were back at home for matchday five of the 2026 MLS regular season, hoping to get back on winning form after going winless through the last two games. Last time out in the MLS, a rotated SDFC squad was held to a point on the road last Saturday in Frisco, Texas, with FC Dallas forward Petar Musa recording a hat-trick to leave the match at a thrilling 3-3 tie, snapping SDFC’s league-winning streak to start the season. Most recently, SDFC suffered a 4-0 road defeat, 6-3 on aggregate, on Wednesday night in the second leg of their CONCACAF Champions Cup Round of 16 matchup with Toluca, which saw them exit the competition to the reigning Mexican champions.
VAR was put to early use in this match, with a potential penalty check taking place following a coming together at the 5-minute mark between SDFC’s Manu Duah and RSL’s Zavier Gozo inside the penalty area. Referee of the match, Alexis Da Silva, stuck to the original decision on the field of no penalty with the contact not being sufficient to draw the early attempt from the spot. Real Salt Lake did end up scoring the opening goal of the match in the 17-minute, with a swung-in left-footed cross into the penalty box by defender Juan Sanabria, being put away into the bottom right corner by forward Sergi Solans to give the visitors the 1-0 lead.
