San Antonio FC (0-3-1) fell 0-1 to Austin Bold FC (1-1-1) in the first edition of the Central Texas Derby. SAFC was unable to find the back of the net despite outshooting the Bold and earning the majority of possession throughout the match.
“We worked hard for 90 minutes and came up short at the end of it,” SAFC Head Coach Darren Powell said. “We are bitterly disappointed and we want to make sure we learn and move past it and get ready for our match next Saturday.”
Austin found the lone goal of the match in the 77th minute when forward Kleber found the back of the net following a corner kick for the 1-0 lead. SAFC had close chances from forward Ever Guzman and midfielder Walter Restrepo in the dying moments of the match, however both chances floated just over the crossbar.
SAFC created nine chances on goal throughout the night and outshot the Bold 9-6, all the while holding the majority of possession with 54 percent. San Antonio FC defenders Josh Yaro and Kai Greene led the team with four tackles each, while defender Ebenezer Ackon recorded a team-high eight clearances.
Goalkeeper Jonathan Viscosi and midfielders Leeroy Maguraushe and Brian Gomez made their first San Antonio FC starts on the night. Viscosi recorded one save on the night while Maguraushe and Gomez recorded one chance created a piece.
