San Diego FC (SDFC) continued its disappointing run in Major League Soccer (MLS) with a 4-2 loss to Real Salt Lake at America First Field in Sandy, Utah, on April 18, 2026. The match marked SDFC's third consecutive defeat, extending their winless streak to five games. Real Salt Lake capitalized on SDFC's defensive errors, scoring two quick goals within the first six minutes. Diego Luna opened the scoring, followed by a header from Sergi Solans. SDFC managed to respond with a goal from Marcus Ingvartsen, but Real Salt Lake dominated the first half, with Solans netting another goal and Morgan Guilavogui adding a fourth before halftime. In the second half, SDFC's Anders Dreyer converted a penalty kick, bringing the score to 4-2, but it was not enough to change the outcome. SDFC will look to regroup as they prepare to face Houston Dynamo on April 22.
