Squad

3 goals for Marcus Ingvartsen

The match ball belongs to Marcus Ingvartsen, whose 3 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Elias Achouri

Successful dribbles: 24. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Marcus Ingvartsen the difference as San Diego Football Club beat Los Angeles Football Club

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Marcus Ingvartsen. 4‑3 against Los Angeles Football Club, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Match

Nobody could stop scoring

7 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about San Diego Football Club and Los Angeles Football Club in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Player ratings

Marcus Ingvartsen was on a different afternoon to everybody else

9.79. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

The terraces

San Diego Football Club supporters have found a favourite in Kieran Sargeant

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Kieran Sargeant has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of CJ dos Santos

“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.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Anders Dreyer

Marked 8.45 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Player ratings

Willy Kumado did the work nobody counts — 6.71

10 combined actions and 6.71. The job he did is the one that shows up as other people looking good, and the only reliable way to notice it is to watch what happens on the afternoons he is missing.

Player ratings

Elias Achouri runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 24. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

San Diego Football Club come up short against St. Louis CITY SC

St. Louis CITY SC left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

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.

The dugout

Andrew Dest answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑1, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

The dugout

Somebody else is better right now than CJ dos Santos

The team sheet says it in public every week until it changes. The only version of being dropped a footballer cannot argue with, and the one he takes hardest.

The dugout

Pablo Sisniega gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The dugout

Anders Dreyer does not fit this one

Ninety specific minutes wanted a different sort of player, and the manager picked one. He is not out of form and he is not in the side, and both are true.

Looking ahead

Bryce Duke goes back to face Los Angeles Football Club

Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Bryce Duke’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and San Diego Football Club needing him to play as if none of it matters.

Squad

Gabriel Pirani still has not settled

A year in and the language has not come, the city has not opened up, and he eats alone more often than anybody at San Diego Football Club would like to admit. It is showing on Saturdays.

Squad

Pablo Sisniega keeps San Diego Football Club in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 11 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Player ratings

Both of them Marcus Ingvartsen's — 9.02

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.02, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Transfer targets

Too dear: San Diego Football Club walk away from Chris Brady

$2.8M was the most the club would pay and Chicago Fire were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Boardroom

San Diego Football Club close the window on a squad of their own making

14 in and 0 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Boardroom

San Diego Football Club go back to the board over Chituru Odunze

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $88.1K — a club that wants Chituru Odunze enough to be asked twice.

Squad

Anders Dreyer signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Anders Dreyer commits to San Diego Football Club for another 4 years.

Player ratings

A defender's afternoon for Jeppe Tverskov

Defensive actions: 23. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Squad

Words exchanged at San Diego Football Club

Christopher McVey and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Transfer targets

Deadline beats San Diego Football Club to Chris Mueller

The clock did what Chicago Fire would not, and ended it. Supporters who watched the countdown will spend the next window doing it again.

In brief

From our football correspondent Triumph

Squad

Pablo Sisniega stands alone

8 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.

Market

Anders Dreyer raises the bar for San Diego Football Club

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at San Diego Football Club heard it as anything else.

Squad

Jeppe Tverskov signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Jeppe Tverskov commits to San Diego Football Club for another 2 years.

Transfer targets

An offer of $410.0K for Chris Mueller

San Diego Football Club have gone to Chicago Fire with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Squad

Tempers go at San Diego Football Club

Elias Achouri was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings

Elias Achouri beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 22. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Match

San Diego Football Club get the job done against Portland Timbers

A 2‑0 win over Portland Timbers, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad

Words at San Diego Football Club training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Aníbal Godoy is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We controlled it. There were spells I did not like and we will look at them, but the group showed me something.” Andrew Dest, on a 2‑0 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.

In brief
