Bouanga and Son both missed a couple of golden scoring opportunities, with CJ Dos Santos making three saves for the visitors, including a diving stop on Son in second-half injury time.

However, in the second half, Dreyer put San Diego ahead with an individual effort to find back of the net.

LAFC controlled play for long stretches, but couldn’t even it.

Son hit a screamer toward the far top corner in the 45th minute, but Dos Santos made a superb leaping save.

Another opportunity for Son came in the 74th minute, when Hugo Lloris’ long pass put him in a one-on-one break, but he couldn’t get a shot off.

Then he again hit the post in the 78th minute with a shot from the top of the box.

Bouanga got alone on the keeper in the 82nd minute, but waited too long to take a shot.

Son’s hard shot in the 92nd minute was saved by a diving Dos Santos.
