San Antonio FC extended their unbeaten streak to five league matches, and their home unbeaten streak to nine matches with the 3-1 win over the Real Monarchs on Saturday.
These are The Notables:
First Impressions
- San Antonio FC forward Frank Lopez was named the SWBC Man of the Match after he recorded a goal and assist in the 3-1 win. In three games with SAFC since joining on loan, Lopez has scored three goals, added an assist, and recorded five key passes. Lopez has now taken his season goal tally to nine which leads the club. Only two SAFC players have reached the 10-goal mark (Ever Guzman, 2018/Billy Forbes, 2017).
Next Man Up
- SAFC goalkeeper Jonathan Viscosi entered the game in the 43rd minute after an injury to teammate Matthew Cardone and would go on to make four saves and help SAFC earn the home win against the Monarchs. Cardone made two saves prior to exiting, giving SAFC at least six saves for the third time this season.
Contributions from Everywhere
- SAFC midfielder Brian Gomez scored his fourth goal of the season and first since 5/18 vs. Tulsa, while midfielder Billy Forbes added his third goal of the season in the game. Teammate Cristian Parano recorded his first assist of 2019 to help round out the win for San Antonio.
Defensive Strength
- With the 3-1 win against the Monarchs, SAFC has now conceded just two goals in their last four league matches. Defender Joshua Yaro led the team with eight clearances tonight while Eby Ackon added a team-high three tackles, four interceptions and 11 possessions gained.
