Detroit City FC is set to conclude its 2024 regular season with an away match against San Antonio FC at Toyota Field. The game, scheduled for Saturday at 8:30 PM EDT, will be available for streaming on ESPN+ and broadcast on CW Detroit 50 (WKBD-TV). Fans in Michigan can access the stream for free via CBS News' Detroit website.
The Detroit team enters this fixture following a decisive 3-0 victory over The Miami FC. Goals were scored by Rhys Williams and Laurent Kissiedou, while Nate Steinwascher successfully converted a penalty. This win secured Detroit City a home playoff game for the first time in its history.
Goalkeeper Nate Steinwascher not only maintained a clean sheet but also made history as the fourth goalkeeper to score a goal in the USL Championship and the first to do so from a penalty kick.
Midfielder Rhys Williams earned a spot on the USL Championship Team of the Week after scoring the opening goal against Miami, taking four shots, and creating three chances during the match.
With their playoff spot confirmed, Detroit City's seeding remains undecided. Holding a head-to-head advantage over Indy Eleven with one win and one draw, DCFC needs just a draw this weekend to secure third place in the Eastern Conference.
San Antonio FC approaches this match after a 1-1 draw with Louisville City FC, which concluded their playoff aspirations as they ended up ninth in the Western Conference. Phillip Goodrum put Louisville ahead before Kevon Lambert equalized for San Antonio in the second half.
In previous encounters between these teams, each has claimed one victory. Last season, Detroit won 1-0 at Keyworth Stadium with Skage Simonsen scoring early. In their last meeting in San Antonio back in 2022, SAFC triumphed 1-0.
Detroit City will host its playoff match at Keyworth Stadium next weekend, though their opponent is yet to be determined. Tickets are available through Detroit City's official website.
