WATCH HEREIn a season full of firsts, this one had to happen at some point. SDFC fell at Snapdragon Stadium for the first time in franchise history, a 3-1 loss to Real Salt Lake.
A rather uneventful first half suddenly erupted with action in stoppage time. Defender Willy Kumado got careless with a pass, allowing RSL forward Diego Luna to corral the loose ball and fire a shot to the upper corner for the first goal of the game. Just five minutes later Chucky Lozano connected on a penalty kick to level the match 1-1 heading into halftime.

SIGN UP After the break SDFC continued a concerning trend of allowing PKs of their own. Jeppe Tverskov was called for a hand ball in the box when he was trying to protect his face from an oncoming shot. It's the 3rd straight game San Diego has been assessed a penalty. All three times the opponent has taken advantage.
Luna found the back of the net for his second goal of the night. RSL added a third in the 66th minute on a strike from Sam Junqua from outside the penalty area. SDFC's next chance to end their losing skid, and avoid being under .500 for the first time ever, next Saturday with a 6:15 pm kickoff against FC Dallas at Snapdragon Stadium.
