San Antonio FC News Release
At a glance...
Magic Numbers: San Antonio's 63 points can only be surpassed by San Diego (max of 67), Colorado Springs (max of 66) or Sacramento (max of 64) in the Western Conference. Five more points won by SAFC moves the team's total to 68, out of reach of any foe in the west and guaranteeing home field advantage until the USL Championship Final. In the Eastern Conference, Louisville City (max of 75), Memphis (max of 73), Tampa Bay (max of 72), Pittsburgh (max of 64) and Birmingham (max of 66) are still in play to finish ahead of SAFC.
Of the six matches SAFC has remaining, four are still mathematically able to finish with a higher point total: Colorado Springs, Sacramento, Pittsburgh and Birmingham.
Chasing USL History: SAFC's just the eighth team in USL Championship history to win 20 matches, with the team in a four-way tie for the fifth-most ever. With six matches still to play, San Antonio is four wins and 15 points shy of the league-best marks set by Phoenix in 2019 (24 wins and 78 points).
Defend 210: San Antonio's defense has been dominant at home, surrendering just eight goals in 13 matches with 7 shutouts. At home this season, SAFC is 9-1-3 with a +18 goal differential and an active 11-match unbeaten streak.
