IF AT FIRST YOU DON’T SUCCEED…
San Antonio FC enters Saturday’s match in second place in the USL Championship Western Conference. They split the points with Oakland after a 2-2 in The Bay their last time out and now head back to the Golden State for their second matchup with OCSC in three weeks. San Antonio has clinched a playoff spot and is still in play for the West’s number one overall seed, although they’ll need some help from SacRepublic’s opponents. Goalkeeper Jordan Farr will be unavailable for selection in Saturday’s match after receiving a straight red card in last Saturday’s match against Oakland.

THE BLACK AND ORANGE ARE BACK!
Orange County SC has officially clinched a spot in the 2023 USL Championship playoffs after their 3-1 win over Oakland Roots SC at home on Wednesday. Goals from forwards Thomas Amang, Milan Iloski and midfielder Brian Iloski secured all three points for the Black and Orange and punched their ticket to the tournament. While OCSC has clinched their spot in the playoffs, each of these last two matches is critical when it comes to playoff positioning in the West. Plus, the boys will get a chance to get rid of the bad taste that the last result in this series went down by the riverwalk. However, two of OCSC’s key defensive pieces, midfielder Kevin Partida and goalkeeper Colin Shutler, missed that game due to yellow card suspension and injury. Both of those players have since returned and are available for selection again on Saturday.
