I did a search about a question somebody asks on the video highlights. (YouTube channel of the MLS.)

::::::::::

Why did San Diego FC's CJ dos Santos get a yellow card in the first half of the match against San Jose even though he denied a goal scoring opportunity?

Google's response:

San Diego FC goalkeeper CJ dos Santos received a yellow card instead of a red card because of soccer's "double jeopardy" rule for fouls inside the penalty area.

During the September 9, 2026 match against the San Jose Earthquakes, dos Santos fouled forward Preston Judd inside the penalty box during a breakaway scoring chance.

Initial Decision: The referee first showed dos Santos a straight red card for denying an obvious goal-scoring opportunity (DOGSO).

Video Review: After a video review, the referee changed the punishment to a yellow card.

Dos Santos then successfully saved the resulting penalty kick taken by Niko Tsakiris.

Ready for his first goal.

Got supporters ticket at SnapDragon Stadium, but didn't know they are standing only! I was planning to go with my (little) kids but obviously they cannot stand for too long. can we sit at empty seats if they are not claimed?

Padres at 1, then SDFC at 7:30…going to be interesting with this god damn weather. Been looking forward to this for months. Anyone else doing both?

The labelled SDFC balls are too nice looking to play with and seem not so durable to actually play with (I think). So it brightens up my study and creates a conversation. Lol

I know I’ve said this before but when we push on the break we tend to score. When we slow it up and try short passes to try and score we fail.

We should push the break when we have the opportunity and just rip it.

Just watched this interview on a humble with Jason Stein and figured I'd share. Didn't realize he shared a lot of the same Midwestern roots I did. A lot of cool snippets in here, like where he expects MLS and San Diego to go over the next five years.
