Match begins: 02:00 (UTC)
Venue: Championship Soccer Stadium at OC Great Park (6000 seats)

Season ticket holders at Championship Soccer Stadium at OC Great Park haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Orange County languishing in the 25th position so far. The guesting San Antonio will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

San Antonio have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
