San Antonio FC News Release
IRVINE, CA - San Antonio FC will play against Orange County Blues for the first time in club history on Saturday, April 23 at 9 p.m. at Anteater Stadium. The match will be the second in a string of three straight away games for San Antonio.
Coverage of the match will be available for free through SanAntonioFC.com as well as the USL Match Center.
SAFC remained undefeated in their inaugural season last Wednesday after getting a late equalizer against league leaders LA Galaxy II at StubHub Center. A goal from midfielder Carlos Alvarez in the final moments of the match gave San Antonio a crucial point that left the club in seventh place in the league standings.
OC Blues are still in pursuit of their first win of the 2016 season after losing their first two matches at home and earning a draw on the road against LA Galaxy II. The team has scored two goals in three games as they continue to chase three points.
San Antonio will look to continue their undefeated streak as they approach their third game in seven days. The team notched five goals in the first three games of its 2016 campaign and has looked solid defensively, conceding only two.
SAFC has yet to lose a match this season despite facing tough challenges in their last two fixtures against the dangerous Swope Park Rangers and league leaders LA Galaxy II.
Following Saturday's game in Orange County, San Antonio FC will prepare for its third consecutive away match against Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC on Saturday, April 23. The team will return to play in front of its home crowd for the second time in franchise history when they take on Tulsa Roughnecks FC at Toyota Field on Saturday, April 30.
