twitter. com/DVJJX1Pdpo — San Diego FC (@sandiegofc) May 3, 2026 SDFC came into Saturday in desperate need of collecting all three points, with their ongoing five-match losing streak looming, having gone winless in their last seven straight league matches. Not an easy task with an on-form So-Cal rival in town, as LAFC sat amongst the top of the Western Conference, having only tasted defeat twice within their first ten MLS matches to start the season.
Following last season's series sweep with SDFC taking both home and away victories over LAFC, San Diego hoped to snap their current losing streak while also growing their perfect streak to three straight wins against the visiting Black & Gold. The biggest change seen in the starting XI for the Chrome & Azul was the return of goalkeeper CJ dos Santos, earning his first start between the sticks of the 2026 season. CJ dos Santos last played on November 1, 2025, in Game Three of the 2025 MLS Cup Playoff Round One series against the Portland Timbers, where he was forced off with a season-ending fractured cheekbone injury.
Before the sidelining, dos Santos was SDFC’s main goalkeeper of their 2025 inaugural season, having started 30 of their 34 league matches. SDFC opened the scoring early, taking the 1-0 lead at the 7-minute mark with the Danish duo of Anders Dreyer and Marcus Ingvartsen connecting off a set piece. Dreyer, on the corner kick delivery, found the leaping Ingvartsen at the near post, as he drove a headed shot into the ground and into the net, leaving LAFC star goalkeeper Hugo Lloris no chance on a reaction save.
