"We need to be able to critique and tell ourselves and understand that what we did today is not enough, what we did against Tampa wasn’t enough and from here on we need to raise it – if not, we’re going to be out of the playoffs, which will be embarrassing.” #LVvSA #Defwnd210

Interviews came through a bit later and I also got waylaid by watching my college football team nearly rescue a win before throwing it away again...quotes added, not that anybody wants to think about that match a second more 😌

Lights 1-0 SAFC (FT) Maybe some had injury and refereeing luck for SAFC tonight, but yet again it just doesn't have the killer instinct it needs, the Lights get an important win to pull within two points of SAFC for the last playoff place. #LVvSA #Defend210

Andres Paredes came on at halftime but went down in discomfort twice early in the half, coming off in the 53rd minute for Luke Haakenson, really unlucky injury night for SAFC. #LVvSA

Poor pass out from Las Vegas' goalkeeper and Cuello pounces on it but chips the ball wide...that's SAFC in a nutshell right now 😌 #LVvSA

Lights 1-0 SAFC (HT) Neither side has been too sharp, mistakes aplenty...Lights looked lively early on, then SAFC had more going in the middle of the half before the Lights retook momentum and got the goal. #LVvSA

Jonathan Check @checkj.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Lights 1-0 SAFC (45'+) No clean sheet for SAFC tonight, ball played through to Arteaga who turns and is one-on-one with Batrouni, and while the initial shot is saved he puts it in off the rebound. #LVvSA

000

Jonathan Check @checkj.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

The Lights put the ball in the net but SAFC is spared considerable embarrassment by the assistant referee flagging for offside...a warning though after SAFC has taken control of the flow more recently. #LVvSA

Nicky Hernandez takes an awkward step, goes down and will have to come off with injury, forcing SAFC into a sub in the 25th minute...Ricol coming on. #LVvSA #Defend210

San Antonio FC is finding it easier to score on the road right now, and it hopes that trend continues as it has traveled to face a leaky Las Vegas Lights team tonight, trying to jump up the USLC's Western Conference standings again. #LVvSA #Defend210 bluishmoonblog.wordpress.com/2026/10/02/l...

SAFC 0-7 SVD (FT) There's...not much you can say about this, it was a patchwork lineup for SAFC especially toward the end, Darmstadt needed a pick-me-up even in a friendly and certainly capitalized...moving on, I guess 🤷‍♂️

000

Jonathan Check @checkj.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

SAFC 0-7 SVD (90'+) Ball comes to Herbst at the top of the SAFC box and he lines up a shot which beats SAFC's academy goalkeeper to add one more goal at the end.

000

Jonathan Check @checkj.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

SAFC 0-6 SVD (69') Ball swung in from the right again and El Kadiri controls it from a few yards out before calmly slotting it in, given waaay too much time and just enough space, not sure anybody closed him down 😌

001

Jonathan Check @checkj.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Nearly a sixth goal for Darmstadt there from the penalty spot but it hits the crossbar and bounces back...fortunate for SAFC there, lessens the damage ever so slightly 🤷‍♂️

000

Jonathan Check @checkj.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

SAFC 0-5 SVD (54') Darmstadt plays it through on the right side and it's squared to Kehl in the box, where his first attempt is parried but comes right back to him for a calm finish on the second attempt.

000

Jonathan Check @checkj.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

SAFC 0-4 SVD (HT) Most of the goals came within just over 10 minutes, but Darmstadt has been in control for almost the entire first half, SAFC had a couple fruitless forays forward.

000

Jonathan Check @checkj.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

SAFC 0-4 SVD (45'+) Free kick late in the first half for Darmstadt and Namani gets behind it but can't hold on, leaving it for a DRmstadt player to clean up, albeit with some further resistance from Namani as he tries to get back up.

000

Jonathan Check @checkj.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

SAFC 0-3 SVD (23') A bit too easy there as Darmstadt just pings it around in SAFC's box at the end, tap-in from a yard or two out...fair though, DArmstadt has been the more penetrating team so far.

010

Jonathan Check @checkj.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

SAFC 0-2 SVD (14') Ball played up the left and it's squared into the box where Darmstadt pokes it past Namani at the near post.

Jonathan Check @checkj.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

SAFC 0-1 SVD (12') A few neat passes around the box for Darmstadt and it's tapped in on the rebound after the initial shot bounces back off the left post.

San Antonio FC once again failed to score at home Saturday night, though once again it wasn't for a lack of trying as it threw a lot at a Tampa Bay Rowdies team that made several big defensive plays to preserve a draw. #SAvTBR #Defend210 bluishmoonblog.wordpress.com/2026/09/26/s...

SAFC 0-0 Rowdies (FT) Pro: You got a draw against the best team in the league. Con: You're still not scoring - and therefore winning - at home 🙃 The Rowdies were very good defensively tonight, SAFC probably could have scored a few, but alas... 🤷‍♂️ #SAvTBR

Jonathan Check @checkj.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

SAFC finds the roof of the net just a couple minutes into the second half, about the same spot that the Rowdies found on the same net in the first half, on the right...just a fun coincidence 🤷‍♂️ #SAvTBR

Republic 0-0 SAFC (FT) Sacramento kept pushing but couldn't break through, SAFC got the job done defensively even if it wasn't pretty at times but didn't have much going forward itself, the point it earned was the maximum it deserved. #SACvSA

Republic 0-0 SAFC (HT) No goals so far, but especially toward the end of the half Sacramento piled on the pressure, SAFC needs to relieve that or else this barrage will eventually create a breakthrough. #SACvSA

A little over half an hour in, Sacramento getting forward and creating chances in and around the box much more but not quite able to find the lethal move yet...couple shots just wide left though, close 😌 #SACvSA
