Converts PK at LA
Dreyer scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal), five crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Los Angeles Galaxy.
Analysis: Dreyer converted a PK in the 10th minute to score his 13th goal in the season. The midfielder led San Diego in shots, crosses and chances created during the draw. He's been their best players in 2026, leading his side in both goals and assists (12).
G/A streak continues
Dreyer scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal), 11 crosses (one accurate) and four corners in Wednesday's 3-3 draw versus Houston Dynamo. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 77th minute.
Analysis: In each of Dreyer's last four appearances, he has either scored or assisted a goal for San Diego. Across the four-game span, he has logged five G/A with three goals and two assists. Dreyer is somehow matching his 2025 season's unparalleled 40 G/A, still on a blistering pace in 2026 with 29 G/A across 28 appearances.
Assists after missed penalty
Dreyer assisted once to go with three shots (one on goal), nine crosses (four accurate) and seven corners in Saturday's 4-1 defeat to New York Red Bulls.
Analysis: Dreyer assisted Cedric Bakambu as his side lost heavily to the New York Red Bulls. The attacker had the chance to bring the score back to 3-1 just before halftime, but missed. The wide player has scored two and assisted two in the last three games to bring him back to 11 goals and provided 12 assists so far this season. Dreyer has created 11 chances in the last two matches, which also included seven corners, continuing his run as the major set piece taker for San Diego.
Adds assist against Austin
Dreyer assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 3-3 draw against Austin FC.
Analysis: Dreyer set up Marcus Ingvartsen for San Diego's third goal, giving him another attacking contribution during an excellent campaign. He has now produced 11 goals and 11 assists across 26 MLS appearances, establishing himself as one of the team's main attacking threats. Dreyer also carries significant set-piece responsibility, having taken 96 corners this season.
Scores brace in draw
Dreyer scored two goals to go with five shots (two on goal), four crosses (two accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Inter Miami CF.
Analysis: Dreyer went toe-to-toe with Inter Miami Sunday and came out even. He scored a pair of goals, both assisted by Jeppe Tverskov, including a strike in the 82nd minute which served as the equalizer. It marked his first brace of the season but was his sixth match with multiple goal contributions. He now has 11 goals and 10 assists through 25 appearances this season.
Struggles to create offense
Dreyer recorded one shot (zero on goal), 12 crosses (two accurate) and eight corners in Sunday's 5-0 loss against Philadelphia Union.
Analysis: Dreyer had impressive volume but lacked accuracy, as only two of his 12 crosses were deemed to be efficient. If he can improve this, he should be able to find some openings in an Inter Miami defense which has allowed 46 goals in 25 MLS matches this season.
Scores in home loss
Dreyer scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), six crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Wednesday's 3-2 loss versus San Jose Earthquakes.
Analysis: Dreyer scored his ninth goal in the season in the 42nd minute to cut San Jose's lead to 3-1, but it wasn't enough to avoid the home loss. The midfielder also led San Diego in crosses and chances created as usual. He took their lone corner kick in the match.
Assists all goals in a 3-1 win
Dreyer assisted thrice to go with six shots (two on goal), nine crosses (three accurate) and seven corners in Saturday's 3-1 win against Los Angeles Galaxy.
Analysis: Dreyer assisted all three goals as San Diego defeated LA Galaxy 3-1. This brings the wide attacker to 10 assists for the season. In total, he created six chances, his most in any game this season. He also took six shots in the game, where he got two on target. This was the third time this season that he has take six or more shots in a game this season.
Eligible again after ban
Dreyer has served his MLS suspension and could play in Saturday's clash with Colorado Rapids.
Analysis: Dreyer's suspension in the midweek loss to Portland allowed some rest to a key element of San Diego's attack, who should be expected to return for upcoming matches, taking Alex Mighten's place on the right wing. Additionally, Dreyer will look to assume significant set-piece duties after Lewis Morgan covered those tasks during the suspension match. Prior to the absence, the 28-year-old had scored in consecutive MLS performances, adding to his totals of eight goals and seven assists in 19 matches played this season.
Goal, red card against LAFC
Dreyer was sent off after scoring a goal during Saturday's 1-0 win over Los Angeles FC.
Analysis: Dreyer almost finished the game as the visitors' hero by notching the decisive goal from the penalty spot in the 89th minute, but he picked up a second yellow card in stoppage time. The winger will consequently serve suspension in the upcoming visit to Portland Timbers and could return to action later in the double week versus Colorado. This is the toughest blow San Diego's offense could suffer at this point given that Dreyer has scored two of the team's last four goals in all competitions. They do have decent depth if either Lewis Morgan or David Vazquez move to the right flank, with Elias Achouri or Amahl Pellegrino filling in on the opposite side while Dreyer is suspended.
Scores in 1-1 draw
Dreyer scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal), five crosses (one accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Minnesota United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 64th minute.
Analysis: Dreyer scored the goal for San Diego as they drew 1-1 away to Minnesota. This brought Dreyer to seven goals for the MLS season, where he has also provided seven assists. In the two games since the return to MLS action after the World Cup, he has taken 11 shots in the last two games, putting five on target. He also created three chances in the game for the eighth time this season despite not getting an assist in the game.
Registers most crosses
Dreyer registered seven shots (three on goal), five crosses (two accurate) and six corners in Saturday's 1-0 win against FC Dallas.
Analysis: Dreyer recorded the most crosses in the game and also created four opportunities. He also recorded the most shots in the match. San Diego largely dominated possession and in the rare event that Dallas regained possession, Dreyer contributed defensively with two tackles and an interception. He has featured in every single game this campaign and also contributed to 13 goals.
Four crosses in loss
Dreyer had two shots (zero on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Wednesday's 1-0 defeat to Colorado Rapids.
Analysis: Dreyer was San Diego's most direct and technically active wide threat in Wednesday's 1-0 defeat at Colorado, registering two shots (one on target), four crosses and completing two dribbles across 90 minutes as the winger who consistently attempted to create openings against a well-organized Colorado defensive block. The Danish winger has now recorded six goals and seven assists in 16 MLS appearances this season, establishing himself as San Diego's primary attacking outlet. His combination of direct running, crossing volume and individual dribbling ability should continue to make him the focal point of the club's attack heading into the remainder of the campaign.
Brace of assists in loss
Dreyer assisted twice to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 4-2 defeat versus Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
Analysis: Dreyer was not at his usual offensive threat with only one shot on the night, but his two chances created translated into two assists, the third time this season he has registered that number of assists in a single game. The winger has now accumulated three goals and four assists across his last eight appearances from 23 shots and 23 chances created.
Stars on Wednesday
Dreyer scored a goal while taking five shots (three on goal), crossing five times (four accurate) and creating five chances during Wednesday's 5-0 win over Austin.
Analysis: Dreyer scored San Diego's second goal in the 17th minute while leading his side in crosses and chances created. The winger has three goal involvements to go along with 10 shots, 11 chances created and 12 crosses over his last three starts.
Provides two assists Saturday
Dreyer assisted twice to go with one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (three accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Los Angeles Football Club.
Analysis: Dreyer set up both goals in Marcus Ingvartsen's brace, first in the 7th minute and then again in the 71st, driving forward in transition before slipping a perfectly weighted pass through for Ingvartsen to finish and push San Diego out to a 2-0 lead that they eventually could not protect through stoppage time. The 2025 MLS Newcomer of the Year has carried over the momentum from last season's 23-goal, 17-assist breakout, now up to 10 goal contributions in 11 MLS appearances in 2026, leading the team in production. His chemistry with Ingvartsen and his knack for unlocking defenses in transition continue to be San Diego's most dangerous attacking edge.
Converts penalty in loss
Dreyer scored a goal while taking three shots (two on goal), crossing three times (one accurate) and creating two chances during Saturday's 2-1 loss to Portland.
Analysis: Dreyer converted a penalty in the 32nd minute while leading his side in shots and chances created. The attacker has two goals to go along with eight shots, six chances created and 13 crosses over his last three appearances.
Fails to generate goal
Dreyer generated two shots (one on goal), four crosses (three accurate) and two corners in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Houston Dynamo.
Analysis: Dreyer was the lone offensive spark for a San Diego side which dominated last year's regular season in scoring but struggled on Wednesday. The midfielder should be able to get right against Portland Timbers, a team which has conceded 18 times in eight MLS games.
