Tomás Ángel nets stoppage-time goal to hand SDFC an exciting 3-2 win over FC Dallas.
FRISCO, Texas (Saturday, June 28, 2025) – San Diego FC (SDFC) closed out a three-match road stretch with a dramatic 3-2 come-from-behind win over FC Dallas at Toyota Stadium. Forward Tomás Ángel scored in stoppage time to seal the victory, breaking a 2-2 tie. Anders Dreyer and Hirving “Chucky” Lozano also found the back of the net for SDFC in the second-ever meeting between the Western Conference rivals.
SDFC earned three more points to remain atop the Western Conference standings and extended its unbeaten streak to four matches, thanks to goals from Anders Dreyer, Hirving “Chucky” Lozano, and Tomás Ángel – along with key late saves by goalkeeper CJ Dos Santos.
Dreyer opened the scoring in the 26th minute, converting a penalty after FC Dallas was called for a foul on midfielder Onni Valakari. The hosts pulled level before halftime through Petar Musa and took a 2-1 lead in the 56th minute when Sebastian Lletget pounced on a rebound and slotted it home.
Lozano entered the match in the 71st minute and equalized just six minutes later, finishing a through ball from Milan Iloski. Ángel then sealed the dramatic comeback with a stoppage-time winner off a pass from Dreyer.
SDFC will now return home to host the Houston Dynamo for the first time on Saturday, July 5 at Snapdragon Stadium on Stars & Stripes Night presented by Liberty Military Housing. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. PT, with live coverage again available on MLS Season Pass on Apple TV, along with English and Spanish radio broadcasts on San Diego Sports 760 AM and TUDN 1700 AM.
