Wednesday's Clinching Scenario

As the season comes to a close, SAFC is looking to secure its playoff berth in 2021. This Wednesday's match at New Mexico United presents a couple of different ways the Alamo City club could clinch a playoff spot. Simply put, SAFC would clinch its spot in the playoffs with a draw or win at New Mexico this Wednesday. In addition, SAFC could also clinch a playoff spot regardless of their result at New Mexico. Should Austin Bold FC lose or draw at El Paso on Wednesday, SAFC would automatically clinch a top four spot in the Mountain Division and in turn a playoff berth.

SAFC Clinches Playoff Berth With:

SAFC wins or draws at New Mexico United on 10/20

The 100 Club

San Antonio FC midfielder Chris Lema made his 100th professional appearance last Saturday vs. FC Tulsa. In total, Lema has appeared in 25 matches with SAFC this season along with 75 with New York Red Bulls II from 2018-20. Lema ranks third on the club with 47 tackles in 2021, to go with 16 key passes and two assists. The veteran has been a versatile component of the SAFC roster, appearing at both defense and midfield in multiple positions this season.

Lema's first professional appearance occurred on 4/14/18 with the Red Bulls II against the Tampa Bay Rowdies.
