RGV FC: The Toros are currently on a two-game winning streak and have yet to concede a goal.

Tyler Deric has totaled five saves, while keeping two clean sheets – ranking him tied at first in the USL Championship. Rodrigo López leads the league with seven created chances, being key for the Toros midfield.
SAFC: San Antonio’s Santiago Patiño leads second in the USL with three goals scored, after scoring a hat-trick in their 3-0 win over Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC in their season opener. Most recently, SAFC drew 2-2 with Real Monarchs SLC. Matt Cardone at goal has kept one clean sheet while conceding two goals.
