    SDFC ended the first half of their season with a thud, dropping a 4-2 decision to the top team in MLS right now, Vancouver Whitecaps. Brian White had two goals and two assists to power the 'Caps victory, while youngsters David Vazquez and Brian Zamblé found the net for San Diego.

    Craig Elsten, Tony Sanchez (live from Snapdragon Stadium) and Alex Peña (checking in from vacation in South Korea!) got together late on Saturday night to recap the loss, discuss the trends that defined the first half of the San Diego FC season, and to hear post-match comments from head coach Mikey Varas.

    May 17 2026
    OH SO FRUSTRATING! SDFC played a wild up-and-down match against FC Cincinnati, rallies from 2-1 down in the second half to take a last-second 3-2 lead...but it wasn't the *very last* second. Cincy got one more kickoff and scored an equalizer in the final 13 seconds of the match to snatch two points away from the Azul and Chrome.

    Craig Elsten, Tony Sanchez (live from Snapdragon Stadium) and Alex Peña talked through the entire match in front of a big crowd live on YouTube, including another bravura performance from Marcus Ingvartsen, wonderful assists from youngsters Soma and Saidi, and some great saves on both sides of the pitch. But what happened on that final sequence? Hear post-match sound from head coach Mikey Varas, midfielder Pedro Soma and forward Marcus Ingvartsen.
