"White slid Anibal Godoy's centre home at the far post following neat play from Ali Ahmed in the build-up after seven minutes, and only three minutes later, the visitors struck again. Ahmed's shot was blocked on the line, but the ball rebounded in off the back of goalkeeper Pablo Sisniega to stun the home fans at the Snapdragon Stadium into silence."
"White had his second on the stroke of half-time, diverting Ahmed's left-wing cross over the line with his chest, though San Diego pulled one back on the hour mark through a deflected effort from Hirving Lozano. However, the hosts' hopes of a fightback were over when Sisniega came outside his area and wiped out Ryan Gauld, receiving a red card for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity."
