San Antonio FC News Release
SAN ANTONIO - San Antonio FC forward Diogo Pacheco and defender Mitchell Taintor have been named to the USL Championship Team of the Week following Saturday's 1-0 win against Monterey Bay F.C.
Pacheco secured his selection following his game-winning goal over the weekend, his first score for the club. The Portugal native added three shots and won five duels in 88 minutes during his SAFC debut.
Taintor makes the Team of the Week bench after assisting Pacheco's goal. The 2022 Defender of the Year completed 50 of 56 passes, the most in the match, and showed his defensive prowess with a decisive interception to deny Monterey Bay an early scoring opportunity.
SAFC returns to action Saturday, hosting Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC, with kickoff set for 7:30 p.m. CT from Toyota Field. The match will be broadcast on ESPN+. The 10th anniversary season is presented by Toyota.
