Anders Dreyer scored the first goal in San Diego FC history. Amahl Pellegrino joined the club in a late-August trade.

Saturday night, SDFC’s first star and its newest one teamed up for one of the biggest wins in the franchise’s young history.

Pellegrino scored in the 26th and 63rd minutes and Dreyer punched in goals in the 47th and 49th minutes, and San Diego FC wrapped its regular season with a 4-0 win over the Portland Timbers at Providence Park.

The victory, coupled with FC Dallas’ 2-1 win over the Vancouver Whitecaps, earned SDFC (19-9-6) the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference playoffs.

SDFC will host the winner of Wednesday’s 8/9 play-in match in a best-of-three series. Times and television assignments will be announced on Sunday.
