US EditionLAFC falls to San Diego FC in Snapdragon Stadium debut
- San Diego FC , the newest MLS franchise and California's fourth MLS club, will face Los Angeles FC on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. PDT at Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego.
- LAFC, with a record of 3-2-0 and coming off a 2-0 win in Kansas City, had a full week to prepare, while SDFC, with a record of 2-1-2, is looking to rebound from its first defeat at Austin.
- SDFC, clad in chrome and azul, earned a 2-0 win against the reigning MLS Cup champion Galaxy in their opening act, and they favor a high line and heavy pressing style of play.
- According to LAFC defender Sergi Palencai, remembering St. Louis's hungry new club from two years ago, and SDFC CEO Tom Penn, who previously served as LAFC club president, expresses excitement to host "best in class" LAFC at the 35,000-seat Snapdragon Stadium.
- Despite the potential boost from Hirving 'Chucky' Lozano's return from injury, SDFC might face its first home defeat if history repeats, considering the challenges expansion teams have faced against LAFC since 2019, although Steve Cherundolo believes San Diego could become a soccer powerhouse.
