San Antonio secured a 3:1 victory over Ind Eleven in the USL Championship Group Stage on 1 August 2026. The hosts took control early and never looked back, despite a late consolation from the visitors. Cuello opened the scoring before Parano's second-half double put the result beyond doubt.
And here's the thing about that first goal — it came quietly in the 25th minute. Cuello found space and finished clinically, giving the home side a lead they would defend with considerable composure. Ind Eleven had spells of possession but struggled to create real trouble.
The second half brought a different rhythm entirely. Parano struck in the 48th minute, then added his second in the 70th to complete his brace. To be fair, the visitors did create more big chances — four compared to one — but conversion rates told a different story.
By then the match had settled into a pattern of dominance and frustration. O'Brien pulled one back in stoppage time at 90+4, but it was too late to change the narrative. San Antonio had weathered the storm and held firm.
There were plenty of changes across the pitch, with six substitutions made in total. Cuello and Parano were both replaced after their goals, while Ind Eleven brought on Okello and Hernandez in search of something to challenge for.
The statistics painted a clear picture of control. San Antonio registered 68 per cent possession with 19 shots, eight on target. Ind Eleven managed only three shots on target from seven attempts, their chances going begging despite creating more clear-cut opportunities.
The result keeps San Antonio fifth on 36 points from 23 games, while Ind Eleven remain seventh on 29 points from 21 matches. This was a result that reflected the gap between them — one side taking chances, the other waiting for something that never quite arrived.
