San Antonio FC wins first USL Championship title, beating Louisville City FC
Louisville City FC plays San Antonio FC during the second half of the USL Championship Playoffs Final soccer match, Sunday, Nov. 13, 2022, at Toyota Field in San Antonio, Texas. For the first time in club history, San Antonio FC are league champions.
Sunday also culminates a three-year build under coach Alen Marcina, who took the reins of the club in 2020 and installed a system unlike any other in the league, insisting on constant aggression. San Antonio led the league in fouls this season behind a physical playstyle and ranked a distant last in total passes and passing accuracy, skipping slow builds for chances to break through down the field.
The mantra as the group looked to rebound in 2022 was becoming “mentality monsters,” a mindset Marcina rooted in resilience and competitiveness. Those qualities were on display all year, as an array of injuries forced San Antonio to start a 36th different starting lineup Sunday out of 37 total matches this season.
About 10 minutes later, Cristian Parano’s through ball sent Patino into space on the right side of the penalty area, and Patino’s rolling cross skittered through the 6-yard box, narrowly missing a potential finishing touch from Sam Adeniran. San Antonio extended the margin to 2-0 in the 65th minute. Mohammed Abu sent a free kick across the penalty area, Taintor headed it back toward center, and Adeniran put it in with a looping header to the top-right corner from about 6 yards.
