That's an SDFC Win! San Diego FC defeats FC Dallas 1-0 at home

San Diego FC (SDFC) returned to its home ground after more than two months following the international summer break with a 1-0 win against FC Dallas at Snapdragon Stadium.  

SDFC’s Alejandro Alvarado Jr. found the net in the 50th minute of the Western Conference matchup, helping SDFC snap a three-game winless streak. SDFC earns three points in the conference standings as it heads into a busy month of August that will include MLS play along with the Club’s second participation in the Leagues Cup. 

Against FC Dallas, SDFC created scoring opportunities throughout the match and nearly added a second goal late in the game, but FC Dallas backup goalkeeper Jonathan Sirois made a handful of standout saves.  

Alvarado scored with a right-footed blast from outside the penalty box for the SDFC 1-0 lead, marking his first career MLS goal. 

Ahead of the match, SDFC Sporting Director Tyler Heaps and winger Elias Achouri addressed the media during a press conference at Snapdragon Stadium to officially introduce the Club’s newest Designated Player. 

Up next, SDFC heads back on the road to face Minnesota United FC at Allianz Field on Saturday, Aug. 1. SDFC returns home to host Club Tijuana (Xolos) of LIGA MX in its first Leagues Cup match of 2026 on Sunday, Aug. 9 at Snapdragon Stadium.  Get your tickets to the match vs. Xolos here!
