Scores one goal
Ingvartsen scored one goal to go with four shots (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-3 draw against Austin FC.
Analysis: Ingvartsen gave San Diego a commanding 3-0 lead with a left-footed finish from the center of the box before Austin mounted its comeback. The forward remained active with four attempts and two chances created, continuing a productive campaign in front of goal. Ingvartsen has now recorded 12 goals and three assists across 23 MLS appearances this season.
Starts against Miami
Ingvartsen (lower body) has been included in San Diego's starting lineup to face Inter Miami on Sunday.
Analysis: Ingvartsen bounced back straight into the initial squad after overcoming an issue that sidelined him for almost a month. His inclusion in the front line is great news for a side that can finally use a natural finisher at the No. 9 role after deploying Amahl Pellegrino and Onni Valakari in previous contests, with both Ingvartsen and summer signing Cedric Bakambu now available. The Dane had recorded 11 goals and three assists in 20 MLS matches played this season prior to the injury.
Not listed on injury report
Ingvartsen (lower body) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's match against Inter Miami.
Analysis: Ingvartsen has missed San Diego's last four matches with a lower-body injury, but the striker could be on the verge of returning this weekend since he wasn't listed on the injury report. Having Ingvartsen would be huge for San Diego since he's notched 14 goal contributions (11 goals, three assists) across 21 appearances (18 starts) in 2026.
Assists, comes off injured
Ingvartsen was subbed off due to injury in the 86th minute of Saturday's 3-0 victory versus Colorado Rapids. He assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created before exiting the match.
Analysis: Ingvartsen came off the bench in the 67th minute and made a big impact with an assist, but he was later taken off in the 86th minute due to injury. This was just his third appearance as a substitute after 18 starts, and he's been a much stronger presence this season compared to his difficult 2025 campaign, scoring 11 goals with three assists. The injury leaves him questionable for Saturday's clash with the Galaxy.
Five shots in 1-1 draw
Ingvartsen recorded five shots (zero on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Minnesota United.
Analysis: Ingvartsen took five shots as San Diego drew away to Minnesota but he was unable to put any of these shots on target. The forward has scored 11 goals this season. This was the third game this season where he has taken five or more shots in a game, although this was the first of those games that he has failed to score.
Scores Brace in wild draw
Ingvartsen scored two goals to go with four shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-3 draw versus FC Cincinnati.
Analysis: Ingvartsen was the central figure in Saturday's 3-3 draw with Cincinnati, equalizing in the first half with a left-footed strike into the lower-left corner after Kieran Sargeant's assist, then reappearing in the sixth minute of stoppage time to smash home his 11th goal of the season, set up by Anisse Saidi, to pull his side back to 3-2 and spark the frantic finish. The Danish forward operates as the focal point of San Diego's attack, combining physical hold-up play with clinical finishing from both inside and outside the box. Ingvartsen has now scored 11 goals and added two assists across 14 MLS appearances this season, making him a serious contender for the MLS Golden Boot.
Remains in form
Ingvartsen scored a goal while taking four shots (two on goal), crossing once inaccurately and creating a chance during Wednesday's 5-0 win over Austin.
Analysis: Ingvartsen found the back of the net in the 79th minute scoring San Diego's fourth goal. The forward is in excellent form at the moment with four goals, 14 shots and a chance created over his last three starts.
Gets a goal
Ingvartsen scored one goal to go with seven shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Seattle Sounders FC.
Analysis: Ingvartsen found the back of the net but it took him seven shots and he only put two on frame. It's a bit of a wasteful performance considering the end result but he'll have a good chance to score against an Austin side which has allowed 19 goals in 11 matches ahead of its clash with Minnesota on Sunday.
Scores brace in draw
Ingvartsen scored two goals to go with three shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Los Angeles Football Club.
Analysis: Ingvartsen struck twice to put San Diego up 2-0 in Saturday's 2-2 home draw with LAFC, opening the scoring in the 7th minute before adding a second in the 71st from Anders Dreyer's assist in transition, giving the hosts full control of the match before it slipped away deep in stoppage time. He now has seven MLS goals on the season, with his brace standing out as the defining individual performance in what was San Diego's most encouraging display during a tough recent stretch. Ingvartsen has already produced six more goal contributions than he did in his first stretch with San Diego last season, and he has done it in two fewer appearances.
