📊 Match recap and data context

Los Angeles FC fell to San Diego 0-1 in Major League Soccer, extending a mixed run of form. Our model favored Los Angeles at 61 percent probability, but the pick missed. San Diego's recent record stood at two draws and three losses across their last five matches, yet they found the breakthrough when it mattered. Los Angeles had won one of their last five but came away empty on the day. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
