San Antonio FC News Release
SAN ANTONIO - San Antonio FC (1-0-1) will play against league leaders LA Galaxy II (2-0-2) at the StubHub Center track on Wednesday, April 13 in the club's third match of the 2016 USL season. The match will be the first encounter ever between the two clubs, as both will fight to remain undefeated in their 2016 campaign.
Coverage of the match will be available for free through SanAntonioFC.com, as well as the USL Match Center.
SAFC will travel to LA following their inaugural home opener at Toyota Field last Saturday, where they managed to get a 1-1 draw against league newcomers Swope Park Rangers, who currently sit in fourth place on the league table. An early goal in the second minute by Daniel Salloi gave SPR the lead before a late first-half equalizer by SAFC midfielder Danny Garcia put the teams level.
Despite San Antonio FC playing away from home this week, they will have plenty of support back in the Alamo City. For their inaugural match, SAFC saw a record-breaking attendance with 8,466 fans packing Toyota Field to cheer for the silver and black.
LA Galaxy II remains undefeated this season after starting off strong with two back-to-back wins against Arizona United and Saint Louis FC, followed by two draws against Real Monarchs and Orange County Blues. The Galaxy II attack will be led by Jack McBean, who has two goals so far in the young season. Coached by Curt Onalfo, the club is looking to improve on their 2015 campaign, where they lost dramatically to Rochester Rhinos in the final minutes of the USL Championship match.
San Antonio FC has yet to see its first loss in franchise history, and will aim to continue their undefeated streak in Los Angeles on Wednesday. The club faces a busy week as it takes on the Orange County Blues on Saturday, April 16, only three days after their upcoming encounter against the Galaxy II as part of a three-game road trip that concludes on April 23 in Colorado Springs.
