Looking to right the ship after a tough loss at home, the San Francisco Deltas defeated Indy Eleven on the road 2-0 thanks to two quality goals from Pablo Dyego.

Although Indy controlled the majority of the possession, the Deltas outshot the home team 24-4. Dyego, who was paired up top with Devon Sandoval, was involved in a significant number of San Francisco’s best chances.

In the 17th minute, Dyego fed Jackson streaming down the right wing. His cross found Sandoval at the far post but his one time shot was well saved by Indy keeper Jon Busch.

Shortly after that Sandoval set up Dyego at the top of the box. He struck a ball with the outside of his right foot that hit the left corner of the crossbar.

Dyego’s offensive pressure paid off in the 41st minute when he fed Michael Stephens out wide. The Brazillian continued his run and was rewarded with a cross which he headed home.

The Deltas put the game out of reach in the 87th minute once again thanks to Dyego. He got in behind the Indy defense in the box and from a tight angle chipped the on-coming Busch.

“We were disciplined and responsible during the ninety minutes. The second goal was important to finish the game, but I thought that overall we were the best team on the field and totally deserved the three points,” said Deltas head coach Marc Dos Santos. “It was a great team performance.”

The victory was the first for the Deltas since August 5th and allowed the team to hold on to second place in the combined standings and climb to third in the fall standings. The away victory also continued San Francisco’s outstanding record away from home (5 wins, 5 draws, 1 loss) which is better than their home record (4 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses).

The Deltas return home to Kezar Stadium next Saturday for a crucial matchup with the league leading Miami FC at 5 pm. Miami has defeated San Francisco in their two previous games by a scoreline 0f 10-1, and the two teams will play each other three times in the fall season.
