San Diego FC Takes Leadership with 1-0 Win Over Nashville at Snapdragon Stadium

⚽ Victory with a View from the Top: San Diego FC Edges Nashville 1-0

San Diego, CA — Friday, July 25
San Diego FC continues to prove it’s a force to be reckoned with in MLS. With a 1-0 victory over Nashville SC at Snapdragon Stadium, the team now sits atop the Western Conference, edging past Vancouver by a single point—though the Canadian side holds a game in hand.

This result not only highlights the club's defensive strength and attacking talent, but it also sends a message to the rest of the league: San Diego is here to contend for the title.

⚡ A Tight Match, Decided by a Touch of Class

The match started off with both teams evenly matched and neither creating clear-cut chances in the first 45 minutes. But the breakthrough came shortly after halftime. In the 53rd minute, Anders Dreyer continued his sensational form with an inch-perfect assist that found Hirving “Chucky” Lozano, who calmly slotted it in for the only goal of the night — his 7th of the season.

The match nearly saw a wider scoreline: in the 81st minute, Nashville saved a penalty that would have doubled the lead, and later Dreyer scored a goal that was ultimately disallowed.

🔙 Milestones and Momentum

While the game ended with a modest 1-0 scoreline, it featured some noteworthy highlights:

• Aníbal Godoy made his return to the pitch, bringing experience and calm to the midfield.

• San Diego FC now has 48 goals this season, the second-highest in the league, just behind Inter Miami's 49.

• The defensive unit recorded another clean sheet, continuing their impressive consistency at home.

🏆 Focus Shifts to Leagues Cup Debut Against Pachuca

With league momentum firmly in hand, San Diego FC now sets its sights on the Leagues Cup, where they'll make their debut on Tuesday, July 29 against C.F. Pachuca—a match especially significant for Chucky Lozano, who will face his former club.

The upcoming match promises to be an emotional and historic night at Snapdragon Stadium, and fans won’t want to miss a second of it.

Kickoff is at 8:00 p.m. PT, available on MLS Season Pass and FS1.
