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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
