Last weekend's United Soccer League (USL) slated fixture saw San Antonio maintaining their dominance by trouncing the Timbers II 4-2. With last week's victory, San Antonio FC continues their run as the only USL club to be unbeaten, while Rhinos also defeated the Charlotte Independence by that same (4-0) goal margin. Two other club sides notched three-goals while ten clean-sheet were also recorded across the United Soccer League last weekend. Here's a look at some USL game results that went down last week.
