Anders Dreyer<\/a> further solidified his Landon Donovan MLS MVP credentials and budding attacking partnership with Chucky Lozano<\/a> on Saturday evening, scoring a brace to keep San Diego FC<\/a> atop the Western Conference standings with a 2-1 win<\/a> at Chicago Fire FC<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Dreyer continued his remarkable debut season at Soldier Field, scoring both goals for the expansion side to reach an MLS-best 26 goal contributions (11g\/15a) \u2013 tied for the fifth-most by a player in his club\u2019s first 22 games of a season in league history.<\/p>\n

The Danish international also became the third player in MLS history to record at least 10 goals and 15 assists in his debut campaign, joining Sebastian Giovinco (22g\/16a with Toronto FC<\/a> in 2015) and Darwin Quintero (11g\/15a with Minnesota United FC<\/a> in 2018).<\/p>\n

\u201cA strong performance, a lot of wins on the road. It has been a thing for us,\u201d Dreyer said in a post-match interview with MLS Season Pass.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe may play a little free when we are on the road, but yeah, what an amazing first half.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Dynamic duo<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n

Dreyer\u2019s first-half heroics were aided by Lozano, who assisted both goals. The superstar Mexican international reached 6g\/9a on the season.<\/p>\n

Combined, Dreyer and Lozano have produced 41 goal contributions \u2013 better than any attacking duo in the league.<\/p>\n

Both Designated Players, along with midfielder Jeppe Tverskov<\/a>, will represent San Diego at the 2025 MLS All-Star Game as the league\u2019s top talents face off against the LIGA MX All-Stars on July 23 at Austin FC<\/a>‘s Q2 Stadium (9 pm ET | MLS Season Pass<\/a>).<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Best in the West<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n

San Diego FC (42 points; 13W-6L-3D record) have been electric in their maiden MLS campaign, topping the West behind the stellar play of their All-Stars and a solid supporting cast.<\/p>\n

However, just four points separate the top three teams. Minnesota United (40 points) and Vancouver Whitecaps FC<\/a> (38 points) are close behind, putting extra pressure on Mikey Varas’ side.<\/p>\n

San Diego are home for their next three games before beginning Leagues Cup<\/a> 2025 play, beginning with Wednesday’s showdown with Toronto at Snapdragon Stadium (10:30 pm ET | MLS Season Pass<\/a>).<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
