A moment San Diego FC<\/a> fans will never forget.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Star forward Chucky Lozano<\/a> put the finishing touches on a sensational evening for SDFC, tallying his first-ever MLS goal to propel his side to a 3-0 victory<\/a> against Seattle Sounders FC<\/a> on Matchday 7.<\/p>\n The expansion club’s first-ever Designated Player, Lozano finished off a lightning-quick counterattack by receiving a through ball from Jasper L\u00f6ffelsend<\/a> and tucking his finish past Seattle goalkeeper Stefan Frei<\/a> to send the San Diego faithful into a frenzy.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n The Mexican international had missed three matches after picking up a hamstring injury<\/a> during their Matchday 2 game against St. Louis CITY SC<\/a>.<\/p>\n After appearing as a second-half substitute during SDFC’s 3-2 win<\/a> over LAFC<\/a> last weekend, Lozano returned to the starting lineup Saturday at Snapdragon Stadium, and his impact was evident from the opening whistle.<\/p>\n Lozano put in a player-of-the-match performance, beginning with his second-minute assist to Jeppe Tverskov<\/a>, a winding run along the endline followed by a perfectly placed cutback to the Danish midfielder. He added a second helper on An\u00edbal Godoy<\/a>‘s 41st-minute goal before sealing the result with the moment of the night.<\/p>\n “It\u2019s a beautiful sensation. I was happy to get a goal for me,” Lozano remarked in Spanish. “Unfortunately, I got hurt in the second match, and I am now back, and I was able to start.<\/p>\n “I feel great and I was able to score my first goal. I am grateful to my teammates for the opportunities created.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n And the wind cries ???????????????????????? pic.twitter.com\/BENQH9DC1X<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 San Diego FC (@sandiegofc) April 6, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote><\/div>\n Lozano made waves across the fanbase, stepping into the spotlight when he signed as the club’s first DP<\/a> before their initial MLS season. Now paired with DP winger Anders Dreyer<\/a>, the duo have been critical in the Chrome-and-Azul’s early-season success, tallying a combined 4g\/5a.<\/p>\n Even in Lozano’s absence, the expansion side have put together an eye-opening start to the season, sitting second in the Western Conference with a 4W-1L-2D record through seven matches. Their 14-point haul to begin the year is the third-most by an expansion team.<\/p>\n In that span, SDFC have taken down some of the West’s heaviest hitters, including Southern California rivals LA Galaxy<\/a> and LAFC, and now historical powerhouse Seattle.<\/p>\n “We have played great in matches against good and important MLS teams,” said Lozano postgame. “We have important things to do, but it\u2019s a long road ahead. We have played some great soccer, but there are also things we can get better at. We are on a great path.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n <\/main><\/p>\n<\/div>\nBack and better than ever<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
