- 18' San Diego FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Marcus Ingvartsen on 18.
- 23' It looks surprising San Diego FC does not make any changes. Albert Rusnak has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 28' San Diego FC is showing some good football. However, San Diego FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
