Game Comments: 

As it is with every SSFAC vs Santa Clara Sporting match up, this season's first encounter was an epic battle that hit 10 on the intensity meter. In the previuos 3 meetings back in 2019-20, both teams eked out a one goal win, and there was a scoreless tie, so why would we expect anything different this time around. Each team had a variety of chances, each team had numerous great defensive stops, each team challenged each other to bring their best effort and each team gave it 100 percent for the entire 90 minutes, and in the end, the hard fought match ended with both teams capturing a point in the standings after a 0-0 result.

SSF relied on their defense to withstand the pressure Sporting put on them. Goalkeeper Adrian Monroy was again terrific in goal turning away every Santa Clara attempt. Monroy collected his 2nd clean sheet in a row and was supported by outstanding play from his defensive core of Martin Wright, Anthony Long, Kevin Ma, & Bob Weger. They did a fantastic job of blocking shots and tackling to win the ball. SSF tried to work the counter attack, and had some good chances to take a lead, but just weren't able to beat the Sporting Goalkeeper.

A much deserved point on the road now finds the team tied for 1st place in the early portion of the season and they next face the team they are tied with, Juventus Academy Silicon Valley in a huge home game on Sunday, October 9th at El Camino High School. Kickoff is set for 10:30am
