Top of the Table and Back in San Diego
Following a three-match road sweep, SDFC returns home sitting atop the Western Conference standings. SDFC earned all nine available points on the road, defeating Vancouver Whitecaps (5-3), FC Dallas (3-2), and Minnesota United (4-2) in a dominant run that showcased the Club's attacking depth and late-game resilience. SDFC has now scored 13 goals in the final 15 minutes of matches this season and remains unbeaten when scoring first (9-0-0).
Dreyer, Lozano, Ángel and Iloski Fuel Attack
The front line continues to shine with All-Stars Anders Dreyer and Hirving "Chucky" Lozano leading the way. Dreyer tallied his ninth goal of the season via penalty in the win over Dallas and now leads MLS in assists (13), with goal contributions in four straight matches. Lozano, who returned to the squad after injury, scored his sixth goal of the year and has 13 goal contributions in just 15 appearances. Tomás Ángel added a stoppage-time winner in Dallas and now has three goals and two assists in only 374 minutes this season.
Forward Milan Iloski has also emerged as a major threat, scoring four goals in the victory at Vancouver on June 25 and registering his first MLS assist in Dallas on June 28. Iloski has now made 13 straight appearances and is tied with Dreyer for the team lead in goals (9).
