San Francisco FC

Match report

Arab Unidos secured a 2-1 away win against San Francisco in the ninth round of Panama's Apertura tournament on Friday evening. The visitors took the lead through R. Dinolis before A. Cooper doubled their advantage just before half-time. D. Bernal restored parity for the hosts but it proved too late.

Dinolis struck in the thirty-ninth minute to give Arab Unidos the advantage. Cooper added a second six minutes into stoppage time, capitalising on a momentary lapse. San Francisco responded well after the interval with Bernal's goal in the sixty-seventh minute setting up a tense finish.

And here's the thing about the statistics — San Francisco dominated possession at 56 per cent and registered more attacks with 117 compared to 114. Yet they managed only four shots on target to Arab Unidos' three. The hosts threw 21 throw-ins and earned 11 free kicks, but found no answer when it mattered most.

Substitutions began in the sixtieth minute with J. Jimenez coming on for San Francisco. Arab Unidos made multiple changes around the seventy-third mark, bringing on V. Medina and R. Dinolis. The hosts also reshuffled their options, introducing J. Villalobos and O. Reefer.

By then the result had shifted the standings considerably. Arab Unidos moved to twenty-one points from sixteen games, sitting one ahead of San Francisco's twenty points. The visitors had won four of their last six matches, while the hosts had dropped points in their previous outing.
