San Antonio FC News Release
At a glance...
A Club Milestone Wednesday's win vs. OKC marked a key moment in San Antonio FC history. SAFC midfielder Leo Torres made his SAFC league debut, marking the first full-time SAFC Pro Academy player to see league minutes in team history. In addition, Torres -- at 16 years, 6 months, 28 days -- became the youngest player to appear in a USL Championship match for SAFC. Torres joined the academy in its inception in 2016 and has since progressed through each level while also earning youth national team call-ups. Torres originally made his club debut in the second round of the 2019 Open Cup against the Laredo Heat.
Record Between the Sticks With Wednesday's clean sheet against OKC, SAFC has now shutout their opponents in five of eight league matches in 2020. In addition, goalkeeper Matthew Cardone recorded his second clean sheet of the season and 16th overall for SAFC. His 16 clean sheets are tied for the most all-time in team history alongside Diego Restrepo .
