No goals but plenty of excitement Saturday afternoon as SAFC weathered a storm in the second half to come away from the inaugural match at Rhode Island FC's new stadium with a draw and stay undefeated on the road. #Defend210 #RIvSA bluishmoonblog.wordpress.com/2025/05/03/r...
RIFC 0-0 SAFC (FT)
A scoreless draw but certainly not a boring one, chances for both sides but some poor finishing as well as good blocks and saves means Centre ille Bank Stadium doesn't see its first goal yet 🤷♂️ #RIvSA
Rhode Island with pressure on the SAFC end but Sanchez is coming up big. No score as we hit the 80th minute.

Rhode Island banging on the door again, really piling on the pressure with about 10 minutes plus stoppage time left... #RIvSA
Rodriguez unmarked a couple yards from the far post off that corner and the ball falls to him, but Sanchez is able to block the shot. #RIvSA
Vegas with a MASSIVE save there as SAFC threaded the needle perfectly to get through on goal. #RIvSA
RIFC 0-0 SAFC (HT)
Strong start from Rhode Island but it wasn't able to capitalize on some decent chances, then SAFC was able to get forward more later in the half itself...not quite enough to change the tide though. #RIvSA
Medranda wisely spots Vegas off his line and nearly chips him from distance...tipped over, SAFC gets a big chance of its own, a rarer site today. #RIvSA
About halfway through the first half and Rhode Island has been the aggressor so far, getting forward and just lacking a lethal finish, a few shots just off. #RIvSA

San Antonio FC's lineup for its match against Rhode Island FC on May 3, 2025
SAFC appears to pick the 3-5-2 for today's match, Medranda as one of the wing backs...Omar gets his first start in league play after his stock has risen in recent weeks, plus Sanchez, Crognale and Hernandez look to continue playing 100% of minutes in the league. #Defend210 #RIvSA
The San Antonio FC injury report lists three out as SAFC faces Rhode Island at 3pm this afternoon. #RIvSA

SAFC will try to spoil the home opener in a club's new home for the second time this season as it takes part in the first match at Centreville Bank Stadium this afternoon, home of a Rhode Island FC team that could cause a few problems. #Defend210 #RIvSA bluishmoonblog.wordpress.com/2025/05/01/r...
Happy Home Opener Eve. #RIvSA
In 48 hours, San Antonio FC will be part of Rhode Island FC opening its new stadium, and although the home side has had a relatively quiet start to the season, there are a few things SAFC should be wary of on this big occasion. #Defend210 #RIvSA bluishmoonblog.wordpress.com/2025/05/01/r...
