East Meets West in First-Ever Meeting at Snapdragon Stadium
Friday’s match marks the first-ever meeting between San Diego and Nashville – two of the top clubs in MLS this season. SDFC enters the match in first place in the Western Conference, while Nashville sits in second place in the East, just one point behind conference leaders FC Cincinnati (48 points).
San Diego is coming off a 1-1 draw against Vancouver Whitecaps FC, rallying from a goal down thanks to Ian Pilcher’s first career MLS goal. The point extended San Diego’s home record to 6-3-4 and boosted their total to 43 points through 24 matches.
Depth Tested, Youth Delivered
SDFC was without eight key players in the match against Vancouver, including defender Christopher McVey, who missed his first game of the season after playing every minute of the club’s first 23 contests. In his absence, San Diego fielded one of its youngest starting backlines in MLS history, featuring Oscar Verhoeven (19), Ian Pilcher (22), Luca Bombino (19) and Manu Duah (20). Goalkeeper Pablo Sisniega continued to anchor the defense, making his third consecutive start and 54th career MLS appearance.
