Marcus Ingvartsen, Anders Dreyer both score late to rally San Diego to 2-1 victory over Earthquakes
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Marcus Ingvartsen scored late in the second half and then notched an assist on Anders Dreyer's winner three minutes later to rally Western Conference-leading expansion side San Diego FC to a 2-1 victory over the San Jose Earthquakes on Sunday. Ingvartsen, who subbed in for Aníbal Godoy in the 64th minute, took a pass from Franco Negri in the 81st and scored for the second time in his seventh career appearance for San Diego (16-7-4). Negri entered late in the first half before earning his first assist in his 12th appearance. Negri had his only other assist in 11 appearances with Inter Miami last season. Ingvartsen and defender Christopher McVey set up Dreyer's 12th goal for the win. It was the first assist for Ingvartsen and the first in 102 career appearances for McVey. Neither team scored until Josef Martínez gave San Jose (8-11-8) the lead in the 77th minute when he scored unassisted for his 12th goal of the season and the 128th of his career. He needs five more to tie Jaime Moreno for fifth place all time. CJ dos Santos had four saves for San Diego in the first meeting between the clubs. Daniel De Sousa Britto's only save for the Earthquakes came in a scoreless first half. San Diego is now 4-0 against California clubs after already beating the defending champion Los Angeles Galaxy twice and Los Angeles FC once. San Diego has won six straight matches on the road — extending its league record for an expansion team. San Diego will host the Portland Timbers on Saturday. The Earthquakes travel to play the Houston Dynamo on Saturday. ___ AP soccer:

Congratulations to Andrew and Claudia Mangiapane on the birth of their baby boy A.J. It is a reminder that like us, NHL players have lives away from hockey and share many of the hopes and dreams that we do. 8. A lot of chatter out there about possible PTOs. Two skaters who I have written about in the recent past are still possibilities for the Oilers. Former Oiler Klim Kostin is one. Alberta kid Brett Leason is another.

The Oilers have let D-man Luca Munzenberger walk. Edmonton held his rights up until Friday, when they expired and no offer to remain in the organization was forthcoming. It was clear the jig was up when he did not join Bakersfield after his season at the University of Vermont ended. 6. Connor McDavid is rated #1 in 2025-26 Oilers Fantasy Rankings, with a point projection of 135. His buddy Leon Draisaitl is number two (114). Evan Bouchard is pegged at 86. Zach Hyman at 68. And Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is ranked fifth at 64 points. That would eclipse The Nuge's 49 last campaign. More on McDavid in a minute… 5. An unknows in this upcoming season for the Oilers is the status of Stuart Skinner. Despite helping his club make it to The Stanley Cup Finals in back-to-back years, an upgrade could be in the cards. But if Skinner grabs the net and runs with it, he could pass a couple legendary Oilers in Games Played. He is just three behind Curtis Joseph, only twenty-two behind Dwayne Roloson for sixth all-time. 4. The Oilers were the only club in the NHL last season to finish in the top four in O-zone time in all four situations: All Strengths (43.8), at Even strength (43.2), The Power Play (61.0) and on the P.K. (31.2). And three Edmonton Oilers were among the top ten individually at All Strength, Connor McDavid, Evan Bouchard and Zach Hyman. Mattias Ekholm was sixth at Even Strength (47.5). 3. The Bakersfield Condors have extended AHL contracts to four players new to the organization: Forwards Matt Brown and Trevor Kanicke have inked 1-year deals, as have D-men Mats Lindgren and Luke Prokop. The undersized Brown had 47 points in 39 games for BU in 2022-23. Kanicke is a right shot Center out of Notre Dame. Lindgren is a left shot D who can move the puck. Solid minor-pro-options for Keith Gretzky. 2. Of those four guys, Edmonton fans are likely most familiar with Prokop who was an Edmonton Oil King when the won a WHL Championship in 2022. Never bad to have organizational depth in the form of a 6'6, right-shot defender who can skate. And the hometown kid is just twenty-three. Prokop has been stuck in the AHL in Nashville's system but he has got some game. Of the four guys inked, Prokop is the guy who I could see getting an NHL shot if injuries strike the big club. Strong signing. Now it's your move, Luke.

Late goals lift Orlando past KC after long delay
(Photo credit: Kim Klement Neitzel-Imagn Images) Late goals from substitutes Ramiro Enrique and Nicolas Rodriguez gave Orlando City SC a 3-1 win over visiting Sporting Kansas City on Saturday in a game delayed by more than three hours because of weather. A 1-1 deadlock was broken by Enrique in the 76th minute, just five minutes after the striker entered the match. Enrique received a pass from Martin Ojeda in the box, then created space amidst three Kansas City players before his left-footed shot found the back of the net. Enrique's eighth goal of the season was quickly followed by the first MLS goal of Rodriguez's career. Rodriguez's 83rd-minute tally came six minutes after the 21-year-old striker took the field. The Lions (13-6-8, 47 points) are 6-0-1 in their last seven matches in all competitions, including a four-match winning streak in regular-season action. Tyrese Spicer also scored for Orlando City, who moved up to a tie for fourth place in the Eastern Conference with Saturday's win. Ojeda earned his 14th assist of the season on Enrique's goal. Ojeda has at least one goal or assist in each of his last 12 regular-season matches, tying him for the second-longest goal contribution streak in MLS history. Dejan Joveljic had the only goal for Sporting Kansas City (6-14-6, 24 points), who are 0-4-1 in their last five matches. The winless drought has dropped SKC eight points under the Western Conference playoff line. Orlando City came out firing after the long wait with Spicer's one-touch goal in the second minute. Saturday marked Spicer's first start and second overall match with the Lions since being acquired from Toronto FC in a trade on Aug. 1. After the early concession, Kansas City responded with about 25 minutes of sustained attack. Mason Toye was the driver of the offense, including a near-miss in the 20th minute and a hard shot that required a Pedro Gallese save in the 23rd. Toye's efforts paid off with the equalizer in the 25th minute, as the forward maneuvered around Gallese and fired the ball towards the open net. Just before the ball crossed the line, Joveljic tapped it over for something of a vulture goal, and the striker's team-leading 14th tally of the season.
