SAFC heads into the match after earning a 2-1 win at home against Portland Timbers 2 on Wednesday night, securing a top-three finish in the standings and a home seed in the USL playoff quarterfinals. The Silver and Black could finish in second place in the West with a win on Saturday.

RGV FC will aim to close out their 2017 campaign with a win on the road. The club suffered a 2-0 loss at Phoenix Rising FC last weekend, and have won just two of their previous five matches.

Last season, the Toros were eliminated in the quarterfinals after qualifying for the playoffs with a second-place regular season finish in their inaugural campaign.

The two South Texas clubs will meet for the third time this season.

San Antonio FC (15-4-10) will host Tampa Bay Rowdies (13-7-10) in the club’s first interconference matchup in franchise history. The match will mark the first of three consecutive games at home for SAFC as it concludes the USL regular season.

SAFC heads into the match after earning a crucial 2-0 win at Tulsa Roughnecks FC. The Alamo City club now sits in fourth place in the Western Conference standings, but is level on points with third-place Swope Park Rangers and second-place Reno 1868 FC while with a game in hand.

Tampa Bay will look to earn three points on the road after earning a USL playoff berth with a win against New York Red Bulls II on Wednesday.

The Rowdies have not lost a match since Sept. 2, but will face a tough challenge as they visit the best defense in the West.

San Antonio FC goalkeeper Diego Restrepo could match the USL single-season record for most clean sheets (13) should he earn a shutout on Saturday night.

Saturday’s match will mark the first of three for the Silver and Black in the span of eight days. The club will host Portland Timbers 2 on Oct. 11 prior to closing out the season with the third edition of the South Texas Derby this season, presented by Augie’s Smoke House.

San Antonio FC midfielder Mark O’Ojong has been named to the USL Team of the Week, the league announced today. O’Ojong started at right back and scored the game-winning goal against the Tulsa Roughnecks last Saturday.

O’Ojong was named the SWBC Man of the Match in his first appearance for the club since Aug. 12 at Reno 1868 FC. Aside from scoring the opening and eventual game-winning goal in the 70th minute against Tulsa, O’Ojong also led SAFC with five tackles, nine clearances and three interceptions over his 90 minutes in defense. Overall this season, the Cameroon native has appeared in 11 matches, playing in 609 minutes while scoring two goals.

The honor marks the first Team of the Week honor for O’Ojong this season. Today’s announcement marks the first inclusion of a San Antonio FC player in the Team of the Week since defender Ben Newnam earned the honors following the club’s 1-0 playoff-clinching win over Orange County SC on September 13.

San Antonio FC (15-4-10) earned a 2-0 win against Tulsa Roughnecks FC (13-12-4) at ONEOK Field on Saturday night in the club’s last road match of the 2017 USL regular season.

“I thought tonight was an important match,” SAFC Head Coach Darren Powell said. “The players came out and had a response after last weekend’s result, and I’m proud of them. We earned two goals against a strong Tulsa team and earned a shutout as well, which is important.”

SAFC opened the scoring in the 70th minute when Mark O’Ojong finished off a corner from captain Michael Reed with a header to earn the Silver and Black the 1-0 lead. The goal marked O’Ojong’s second this season in his first match playing as a defender for the club, as well as his first appearance since August 8. The assist also marked Reed’s third this season.

The Alamo City club then widened their lead in the 88th minute following a counter attack. Midfielder Omar Gordon found midfielder Billy Forbes inside the box, from where he slotted a shot past goalkeeper Fabian Cerda. The goal marked Forbes’ ninth this season, tying Rafa Castillo’s all-time leading scoring record for the club.

Goalkeeper Diego Restrepo recorded his 12th clean sheet of the season, making four saves on the night en route to the team’s 15th shutout this year. Restrepo is now just one shutout away from matching the USL single-season record of 13, which was set by goalkeeper Brandon Miller in 2015 while playing for the Rochester Rhinos.

San Antonio FC will now conclude the rest of the USL regular season with three consecutive matches at home. The club will return to action on Saturday, Oct. 7 as they host Tampa Bay Rowdies at Toyota Field in the club’s first inter-conference matchup in franchise history.

San Antonio FC (14-4-10) will visit Tulsa Roughnecks FC (13-11-4) at ONEOK Field on Saturday, Sept. 30 at 7 p.m. The match will mark the second time the two clubs face each other in USL play and the third in all competitions this year.

SAFC heads into the match looking to get back in winning form after recording their first consecutive losses this season in their previous two matches, falling to Swope Park Rangers and RGV FC. The latter marked the first time the Alamo City club lost at home in over a calendar year after the team’s loss against Saint Louis FC on Sept. 10, 2016. SAFC has recorded just four losses this season, the fewest among all USL clubs.

The Roughnecks will aim to build on their win last weekend, when they defeated LA Galaxy II 1-0 at home. The club has lost just once in their previous five matches and currently sits in sixth place in the Western Conference standings as their hunt to secure a playoff berth continues. Earlier this season, the club eliminated SAFC from the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup on penalties in the third round of the tournament.

The Alamo City club is currently 4-0-0 all-time against the Roughnecks in USL play, earning three wins during the Silver and Black’s inaugural season and one last June. SAFC has scored 10 goals while conceding just three against the Oklahoma club.

Earning three points on the road would be significant for SAFC as the club continues its efforts to secure a top-four playoff seed. The club is currently in fourth place in the standings, but is within three points of second place Reno 1868 FC and has a game in hand.

The match will mark the last away match for the Silver and Black during the 2017 regular season, which the club will conclude with three consecutive matches at home prior to entering their first-ever USL playoff run. The club previously sealed their position in the USL playoffs on Sept. 13 with a 1-0 win at Orange County SC.

San Antonio FC (14-4-10) fell 0-1 to Rio Grande Valley FC (9-13-7) at Toyota Field on Saturday night. The club recorded its second largest attendance of the season during Military Appreciation Night.

“First and foremost, I want to thank our fans for filling up the stadium,” SAFC Head Coach Darren Powell said. “We also had military members here and they came out in full force tonight to support our team. We support them and thank them for what they do for our country, and we’re proud that they choose to come out to support us.”

The lone goal of the match came in the 17th minute when midfielder Jose Escalante placed a shot far-post and over goalkeeper Diego Restrepo for the 1-0 lead.

The loss marked San Antonio’s fourth of the season and first at Toyota Field since Sept. 10, 2016, as well as the team’s first consecutive losses since the Silver and Black fell twice in a row on Sept. 10 and Sept. 14 of last season.

The 8,125 fans at Toyota Field marked the Alamo City club’s second-largest attendance this season, falling just short of the 8,131 attendance during the club’s match against OKC Energy FC on July 14.
