True, SA's main task was to scout the area, but let us not forget what his signature spell is and that has to with barriers, so I assume he was also there to give Cadence some back up should the situation arise aside from merely scouting the area, and keeping an eye on Sombra's movements.

In either case, Sombra nuetralized SA, exhausted Cadence exhausted, and ensnared Twilight in a couple of his traps, so he pretty much removed the three most powerful ponies off the board.
