SAN DIEGO -- For a few minutes, it looked like Hirving Lozano's return to Snapdragon Stadium might turn into the kind of night the LA Galaxy had been waiting for.
Lozano had spent nearly 10 months away from competitive action, and San Diego made sure he knew exactly how it felt to come back.
He was booed the first time he touched the ball and was fouled repeatedly as the match grew more physical. Then, after San Diego went down a man early in the second half, Lozano finally found his moment.
A loose ball bounced around the penalty area before falling to Lozano, who made no mistake from close range. He celebrated in front of the Galaxy supporters who had made the trip, embracing the moment in a stadium where his return carried plenty of weight.
For the Galaxy, though, the goal was part of a much larger night that slipped away in a 3-1 loss to San Diego FC on Saturday.
