As the Houston Dynamo get set to host San Diego FC, they face a team brimming with attacking quality and multiple ways to break opponents down. San Diego’s threat isn’t one dimensional, it comes from a dynamic mix of creativity, control, and finishing, with these three players helping drive it.

Anders Dreyer

Dreyer is the focal point of San Diego’s attack, a left-footed winger who cuts inside from the right to create and score. He’s especially dangerous in transition, where his direct running and vision expose defenses. Houston will need to keep him from drifting centrally onto his stronger foot. In 2026, he’s been their most productive attacker with 4 goals and 3 assists.

Jeppe Tverskov

Tverskov brings balance and control in midfield, breaking up play and linking defense to attack. His positioning and distribution allow San Diego’s attackers to stay advanced and dangerous. While not flashy, his influence is key. He has 1 assist in 2026 but plays a major role in dictating tempo.

Marcus Ingvartsen

Ingvartsen is San Diego’s main goal threat, thriving on smart movement and efficiency in the box. He’s strong in the air and clinical with limited chances, making him dangerous on crosses and cutbacks. Limiting service to him will be crucial for Houston. He has 5 goals and 2 assists in 2026.
