近距离内射合集

They might have arrived at the New Mexico 近距离内射合集 training facility with their parents 鈥� such is life when you鈥檙e 8 and 7 years old 鈥� but Santiago and Sebasti谩n Casaus Natale more than held their own. 

Really, they stole the show 鈥� before training, during the practice session and afterward.

Then again, it was their day. The hope is it鈥檚 the first of many at the club. A lifetime, some might say.

The brothers signed honorary permanent contracts with 近距离内射合集 on Friday. And like any new player, each received their own jersey to go along with their new deals. Santiago No. 22. Sebasti谩n No. 14.

鈥淲hen we started this club, we thought a lot about what it meant to be 近距离内射合集,鈥� said Peter Trevisani, the club鈥檚 owner and CEO. 鈥淎nd we knew we wanted players on our team who had each other鈥檚 backs, who were there to celebrate wins like their own and when things get tough for your teammates, you pick them up.

鈥淎ll those things go way beyond soccer and (these) two young men know that lesson better than most of us.鈥�

Santiago and Sebasti谩n certainly do.

From the cancer 鈥� myoepithelial carcinoma 鈥� Sebasti谩n has been battling since he was 2 years old, one so aggressive and rare most major medical organizations have little published data on it, let alone treatments or survival rate.

From Santiago always being by his brother鈥檚 side. Through the good times and the bad.

近距离内射合集 wants to help both enjoy more of the good.

The club became acquainted with Santiago and Sebasti谩n through the F, which pairs sports teams 鈥� from the high school, college and professional ranks 鈥� with children fighting pediatric cancer and their siblings.

And that means more than just a training session, two honorary contracts or a pair of custom jerseys.

There鈥檚 a plan in the works for 近距离内射合集 to donate 100% of the proceeds for each Sebasti谩n and Santiago jersey sold to , the foundation started by their parents, Michael Casaus and Naomi Natale.

On Saturday, the brothers will walk out of the tunnel with the team ahead of the match against San Antonio FC. 

But Friday? Well, that was just about being two kids around professional players and maybe even teaching them a thing or two. Maybe about soccer. Perhaps offering perspectives much more important.

鈥淭his is what dreams look like when they come true,鈥� Naomi said. 鈥淭here鈥檚 no doubt, and as a parent, your dream is your child鈥檚 dream.鈥�

Sometimes, they even come with a small obligation or two. 

Like any new player, Santiago and Sebasti谩n had to fulfill their introductory press conference. In front a crowded full filled with members of the front office featuring Trevisani, president Ron Patel, vice president Clint Gray and technical director Itamar Keinan; members of the coaching staff that included manager Dennis Sanchez and assistants Armando Quezada and Daniel Bruce; and some of their new teammates like Greg Hurst, Ousman Jabang and Joseph Melto.

There were few cameras and microphones to deal with, too.

But it was important not to miss Santiago and Sebasti谩n field the important questions. 

Their preferred positions? Wingers. Sorry, Melto.

Their roles? Playmakers, of course. Goals or assists. Watch out, Hurst.

Their playing time? Well, that usually has to be earned. But there are exceptions to the rule. How does 90 minutes sound? Keep it in mind, Sanchez.

Their goal? 

鈥淭o help get this team to the USL championship,鈥� Santiago said.

You heard him, players. Not that there were any arguments.

About the only one came when it was time to leave for the day. Training was over.

鈥淐an we go to practice every day?鈥� Sebasti谩n asked.

They say practice makes perfect. The plan is for it to be over a lifetime. 

Free kicks

1. STILL LOOKING DOWN: Full disclosure: This will be important to note from here on out.

It鈥檚 what happens when you鈥檙e (近距离内射合集) atop the 12-club .

New Mexico, which has 37 points, retained that spot thanks to its 2-1 win over Lexington SC on Wednesday. A good thing, too. Second-place El Paso Locomotive FC, which also has 37 points, also won. El Paso hosts Loudoun 近距离内射合集 on Saturday.

San Antonio, meanwhile, isn鈥檛 far behind even if it鈥檚 in fifth place. The club has 32 points. 

2. IT鈥橲 BEEN A MINUTE: Saturday will mark the second of three regular-season meetings between the clubs.

The first? That took place all the way back on March 21, the third week of the regular season, in Texas. San Antonio won 1-0 behind a 74th-minute goal from Daniel Barbir. 

近距离内射合集 finished with 10 shots in that match with four on target. The problem was San Antonio recorded 20 shots overall with nine on target.

The third meeting is set to take place in San Antonio on Oct. 17.

3. DON鈥橳 SAVE IT FOR LATER: Saturday looks like it could feature some notable goalkeeper play.

近距离内射合集鈥檚 Kris Shakes in the USL Championship in regular-season saves (68) and is tied for fifth in clean sheets (7).

His counterpart, Joseph Batrouni, is eighth in saves (51) and tied for ninth in shutouts (5).

4. ADDING THEM UP (WELL, ON): Another opponent also means another new player.

San Antonio announced it signed forward on Wednesday. 

It will be the 25-year-old鈥檚 second stint with the Texas club. The Colombian played for Antonio in 2025, recording three goals and two assists in 16 appearances before a season-ending injury. He was not with another club this season.

San Antonio is tied for 15th in the Championship with 15 regular-season goals.

Key matchup

近距离内射合集 forward Dayonn Harris vs. San Antonio defender Alex Crognale

Harris returned to New Mexico鈥檚 lineup due to injuries and provided the assist on Niall Reid-Stephen鈥檚 go-head goal in the 78th minute against Lexington. He played 85 minutes. It will be interesting to see if he plays that much Saturday. Crognale leads San Antonio in clearances (79) and has also been a scoring threat (4 goals).

Player of the match

近距离内射合集 forward Joseph Melto

Well, aside from having his position threatened (maybe) by newcomers Santiago and Sebasti谩n Casaus Natale (see above), Melto is coming off a one-match suspension. He was given two yellows in New Mexico鈥檚 0-0 draw at Loudoun two weeks ago.

By the numbers

7: The number of clubs separated by six points or less at the top of the West.

8: The number of yellow cards a player can accumulate in the regular season before . 近距离内射合集 midfielder Zico Bailey is at eight.

14: San Antonio鈥檚 spot in the Championship鈥檚 . It鈥檚 not a new week, so 近距离内射合集 remains No. 1 on the 23-club list.

15: What 近距离内射合集 could run its unbeaten streak to 鈥� for statistical purposes 鈥� with a win or draw.
