San Antonio FC dominated Louisville City FC from start to finish in a 3-1 victory and claimed the franchise's first USL Championship Title.
– The ‘Mentality Monsters’ finished the fight.
On Sunday night, San Antonio FC welcomed traditional USL powerhouse Louisville City FC to Toyota Field for the USL Championship Final and promptly dominated them from start to finish in a 3-1 victory that secured the franchise’s first title. Forward Santiago Patiño scored a brace in the victory and was named the match’s Most Valuable Player.
“I’m incredibly proud of everyone because this was a total team effort,” head coach Alen Marcina said. “Santi’s battled injuries, and he’s been resilient. In the playoffs, he’s been absolutely dominant.” “It’s an amazing feeling,” Patiño said. “We worked really hard this season for this. I’m very happy that we were able to win it with this team and this amazing group of guys.”
After SAFC was unable to convert on multiple quality scoring opportunities throughout the first half, Patiño finally got the home side on the board in the 48th minute of stoppage time with a perfectly-struck penalty kick. With that all-important first goal under their belts, San Antonio opened the flood gates in the second half. On a brilliant set piece, Mitchell Taintor redirected a free kick with a header right to Sam Adeniran who headed it past the keeper for a 2-0 advantage.
