San Antonio FC secured another three points. With their 2-1 away win against Tulsa FC last Sunday (June 7th), SAFC maintained their lead in the league standings.

The hosts initially took the lead in the 18th minute through Remi Cabral. However, the visitors remained unfazed and equalised shortly after halftime. Following a cross into the penalty area, Mikey Maldonado headed the ball powerfully into the left corner (51st minute). For a long time, it looked like the match would end in a draw, but San Antonio struck again in stoppage time. After a cross from the left wing, Luke Haakenson was on hand to head home the winning goal in the 91st minute, sparking jubilant celebrations.

On June 27th, the time has come. Jimmie Wilson will bring hits like „Hello,“ „Stuck on You,“ and „All Night Long“ live to Böllenfalltor at the „Lionel Richie Tribute Night.“ The American singer, who lives in Darmstadt, will provide an evening filled with familiar melodies. The perfect setting will be created in the south wing of the ENTEGA VIP Lounge in the South Business Area of ​​the Merck Stadium at Böllenfalltor. Doors open at 8:30pm, and the show starts at 9:30pm Standing room only. Seating is available for those with limited mobility. Tickets are still available online and at the box office.
