After a hot start to its second season in existence, San Antonio FC currently finds itself in third place in the Western Conference standings. Stellar defensive performances and impressive showings from Diego Restrepo and Billy Forbes have highlighted the club’s sophomore campaign. Take a look at some numbers that break down the club’s season so far:
1. San Antonio FC remains the only team in the USL with just one loss on the season. League-leaders Real Monarchs are the closest with two losses, while Portland Timbers 2 has suffered 15.
2. SAFC goalkeeper Diego Restrepo currently ranks second in the league in clean sheets (seven). Restrepo has tallied that number in 13 appearances since stepping onto the pitch for the Silver and Black for the first time on April 22 at Whitecaps FC 2.
3. San Antonio FC currently ranks third among all USL clubs in conversion rate. The team has converted 20 percent of their chances, scoring 28 goals out of 142 total attempts. Last season, the Alamo City club converted ten percent of their chances, tallying 36 goals out of 367 shots.
5. With his assist to set up Devin Vega’s goal on Saturday, midfielder Billy Forbes has now recorded five assists this season, and is just two short of the club’s all-time record of seven, which was posted by midfielder Carlos Alvarez during the club’s 2016 inaugural season.
7. In addition to nearing the all-time assists record, midfielder Billy Forbes is also one goal away from tallying Rafa Castillo’s all-time scoring record for the club. Castillo has tallied three goals in 2017 after scoring five during the Silver and Black’s inaugural campaign.
10. The San Antonio FC goalkeepers have combined for a total of 10 clean sheets of the season, posting the highest number of shutouts among USL clubs. In addition, SAFC has conceded just 10 goals, the fewest in the entire league.
17. Just over the halfway mark of the 2017 campaign, San Antonio FC matched its points total from last year in just 17 matches this season. The club’s 10-1-6 record 17 matches into the season added up to 36 points, which was the same amount that the team reached after their 30 matches in 2016.
Though the club trails first-place Real Monarchs by seven points, SAFC is well within range of potentially winning the Western Conference title. After significantly improving on last season, the Alamo City club will look to continue setting club records in 2017.
