Match

A hiding for San Diego Football Club

Beaten 0‑5 by Los Angeles Football Club, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

Squad

CJ dos Santos stands alone

9 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Squad

Aníbal Godoy falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

San Diego Football Club lose Marcus Ingvartsen

50 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Jeppe Tverskov

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Boardroom

Doors closed at San Diego Football Club

The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.

Squad

A falling-out at San Diego Football Club

Wilson Eisner and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑5 defeat, delivered by David Moore to a room that had heard them before.

Player ratings

Onni Valakari beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 12. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

In brief
