It’s a culture battle as much as it is a sporting match. Add to that the fact that San Diego lost its NFL team, the San Diego Chargers, to LA, and it means even more for hardcore sports fans in the city when they can hang one over the state’s largest city.

Artem Smolyakov and Cengiz Ünder each score in the first half as LAFC loses to San Diego FC 3-2 in its first trip to Snapdragon Stadium.

San Diego FC won their first game at Snapdragon Stadium Saturday, beating Los Angeles FC 3-2 in front of 32,000 fans. Why it matters: SDFC's third win of the season pulled them to second place in the MLS' Western Conference in their inaugural season.
