San Diego FC made history on Saturday night, scoring their first-ever MLS goal in dramatic fashion against the MLS Cup champions, LA Galaxy.
After a scoreless first half at Dignity Health Sports Park, the newest expansion team took the lead in the 53rd minute on a defensive mistake from the Galaxy. Goalkeeper Novak Mićović struggled to play the ball out of the back, and San Diego’s Anders Dreyer quickly made the most of it, intercepting the pass and smashing it into the goal.
A Danish international, Dreyer is one of San Diego’s key pieces in their first MLS season, coming over from Belgium’s Anderlecht as a winger to complement Mexico international Chucky Lozano, who takes up the other flank.

Galaxy head coach Greg Vanney made a strong statement in his team selection, choosing Mićović as his starting goalkeeper for the season-opening clash over his MLS Cup-winning starter, John McCarthy.
