Despite most of the pregame talk focusing on LA Galaxy and their 2024 MLS Cup win, San Diego stunned their hosts on the night with a 2-0 win. Even history was against them as only two of the last 12 MLS sides to make their debut won their opening game but that didn’t seem to matter. Thanks to two second-half goals from Dreyer, San Diego walked away with the win with Lozano playing his part by assisting the club's first MLS goal.
