SAN DIEGO (AP) — Onni Valakari scored San Diego FC's first-ever goal at Snapdragon Stadium on Saturday night in a 1-1 tie with the Columbus Crew.
Valakari flicked a header off a corner kick played in by Luca de la Torre into the net for his first career MLS goal to make it 1-1 in the 69th minute.
Columbus (2-0-2) played a man down — and San Diego had six of its seven shots on goal — after Malte Amundsen was shown a straight red card in the 61st minute.
Max Arfsten opened the scoring in the 15th minute.
