David Vazquez Scored Twice in His Breakthrough Game and San Diego Just Ended a Brutal Nine-Match Skid
San Diego FC needed this win badly. After nine straight matches without a victory, the team exploded for a 5-0 rout of Austin FC on Wednesday night, with 20-year-old David Vazquez stealing the spotlight by scoring his first and second career MLS goals in the same game. This wasn't just a win. This was a statement.
Vazquez's Perfect Night
In his 17th career MLS appearance and ninth start, Vazquez didn't just score twice. He added an assist and proved why San Diego's front office has patience with young talent. The opening goal came in the eighth minute, a perfectly executed team move that started with Luca Bombino's angled pass from the right. Onni Valakari made a run into the box, received a first-touch pass from Ingvartsen, then sent a low cross that Vazquez redirected past the Austin defense. Clean. Clinical. Professional.

A Complete Team Performance
This wasn't carried on Vazquez's shoulders alone. Marcus Ingvartsen led the charge with his team-leading ninth goal and two assists. Anders Dreyer added a goal and an assist, and Pedro Soma chipped in a goal from a long-range strike that hit the inside of the right post in the 54th minute. Dreyer's finish in the 17th minute showed the kind of composure this team needed. He raced behind the back line, cut back onto his left foot, and curled a low shot inside the far post.
Duran Ferree made three saves and kept his fourth clean sheet of the season. San Diego (4-5-4, 16 points) moves forward with some breathing room, while Austin (3-5-5, 14 points) suffered only its second shutout of the season.
What's Next
This performance matched San Diego's highest-scoring output since their season-opening 5-0 win over CF Montreal on February 21. With three consecutive home games ahead before the World Cup break, San Diego has a chance to build real momentum. The winless run is over. Now the real work begins.
