Club will take on the Rio Grande Valley FC Toros on Saturday at Torero Stadium — then play seven of their next nine matches on the road
More than one-quarter of the way through the 2023 USL Championship season, San Diego Loyal SC is sitting pretty.
The Loyal are 5-2-2 through nine matches; their 17 points are one behind the Sacramento Republic FC for first place in USL Championship’s Western Division. San Diego can keep pace — or even potentially leapfrog into first — on Saturday, when they take on Rio Grande Valley FC at 7 p.m. inside Torero Stadium. Sacramento will play the Indy Eleven in California’s capitol at the same time.While it’s too soon — nine matches into a 32-match regular season — to make any grand pronouncements about the Loyal, there is already a lot to like. The club won its first road match of the season last week, beating Orange County SC 2-1 in Irvine.
The Loyal must keep winning on the road to keep a first-place pace. They’ll spend their next three Saturdays chasing victories in Miami, Fla., Oakland and Sacramento. Seven of the club’s next nine matches will be played on the road, the only exceptions being a June 9 game against Sacramento and a June 14 game against San Antonio.
The reward, should San Diego survive the gauntlet, is sweet. The team will play five home matches in a row from July 29 to Aug. 19, then — following an Aug. 26 road game against Rio Grande Valley — return home for a Sept. 3 match against Birmingham.
