San Diego FC Wins Fifth Straight Road Match, Leading Western Conference

San Diego FC secured a 2-0 victory over Sporting Kansas City in their return to MLS play, marking their fifth consecutive road win and solidifying their position atop the Western Conference. The match featured a standout goal by Hirving Lozano, who scored from outside the box with a shot that had only a 3% chance of success, followed by a late goal from Anders Dreyer, who also assisted on the first. San Diego's goalkeeper, C.J. dos Santos, made five crucial saves to keep a clean sheet in his first game back after a broken nose. Despite a disappointing Leagues Cup campaign with two losses, San Diego has refocused on the MLS season, bolstered their roster with several new signings, and aims to address weaknesses identified during the tournament. Sporting Kansas City, struggling with injuries and suspensions, was unable to capitalize on multiple chances and remains winless in three matches. The win provides San Diego with momentum as they prepare for an upcoming road trip to face the San Jose Earthquakes.
