This is the 2nd league game in a row that San Antonio has failed to score, and 3rd overall this season.
Even with the loss, San Antonio is still only 2 points away from a playoff berth position.
San Antonio will meet Edmonton for the 3rd and final time in the 2015 regular season in just 10 days from this game on 7/15.
The Scorpions have failed to win their half-season opening game for the 2nd straight time, and 3rd time in the past 4 half-seasons . While the team is still in contention for a top 4 position, there needs to be some serious changes made, whether it be strategical or personnel changes. San Antonio hasn’t scored a goal since their 1-0 win over Atlanta on June 6th, including the teams 0-1 friendly loss to C.S. Cartaginés during the break. The road doesn’t get any easier when they welcome the league leaders to Toyota Field for their next match.
Next match.
The Scorpions return to Texas for their fall home opener against the league leader Tampa Bay Rowdies this Saturday.
