San Diego took the lead in the 20th\u00a0minute when Anders Dreyer converted from the penalty spot. The penalty kick was awarded following a VAR review, which determined that goalkeeper\u00a0Jonathan\u00a0Bond\u00a0had fouled Cedric Bakambu inside the box.<\/p>\n

Houston leveled the match in the 33rd\u00a0minute with an extraordinary finish inside the box, as Bogusz found the back of the net with a bicycle kick into the bottom left corner. The play began with Guilherme finding the Polish playmaker in the center of the box, where Bogusz controlled the ball with his chest before executing the acrobatic finish. The goal marked Bogusz’s seventh goal of the\u00a0season,\u00a0while Guilherme recorded his ninth assist of the MLS campaign.
