San Diego FC's debut MLS season reached another milestone on Saturday night.

A week after beating defending MLS Cup champions LA Galaxy, 2-0, in their first-ever game, the league's newest club played in front of a historic number of fans for their inaugural home match at Snapdragon Stadium against St. Louis CITY SC.

The recorded attendance of 34,506 goes down as the largest crowd for a sporting event in Snapdragon history.

Celebrity co-owners Issa Rae and Manny Machado were among those in attendance to witness the monumental occasion between Major League Soccer's two most recent expansion sides.

Unfortunately for the hosts, the party atmosphere took a far less festive turn in the 31st minute when star Designated Player Chucky Lozano left the game with an apparent injury.

Neither side found the breakthrough as the game ended in a 0-0 draw that keeps San Diego undefeated. They'll visit Real Salt Lake on March 8 (9:30 pm ET | MLS Season Pass) before seeking a first home win in Matchday 4 against the Columbus Crew.
