Amahl Pellegrino, Anders Dreyer propel San Diego to 3-1 victory over Galaxy
SAN DIEGO (AP) --- Amahl Pellegrino added some insurance with a short-handed
goal in the second half, Anders Dreyer had two assists and San Diego FC went on
to beat the Los Angeles Galaxy 3-1 on Saturday night.
Rookie Elias Achouri staked San Diego (8-8-6) to a 1-0 lead in the 11th minute
with his second goal in four matches and it stood through halftime. Dreyer and
Onni Valakari had assists.
Dreyer set up rookie defender Kieran Sargeant for his first career goal three
minutes into the second half for a two-goal lead. It was the 11th assist for
Dreyer, leaving him in a three-way tie for the league lead.
Midfielder Jeppe Tverskov left San Diego a man down when he was tagged for his
second yellow card in the 50th minute and Hirving "Chucky" Lozano scored
unassisted five minutes later to cut it to 2-1.
It was Lozano's first goal with Los Angeles after totaling nine goals and 10
assists for San Diego last season --- his first in the league.
Pellegrino gave San Diego a two-goal advantage in the 70th minute with his
third netter this season.
CJ dos Santos finished with seven saves for San Diego.
Novak Micovic stopped three shots in his sixth start this season for the Galaxy
(6-9-8).
