If you listen to the ATC tower recording, AMX 668 clearly contacts the tower stating he is inbound at "duyet." And the tower clears him for 28R. As we know, however, "duyet" is not a point on the ILS for 28R, but for 28L instead. (The correct point for 28R is "axmul.")

Why ATC didn't notice his call and make sure he was headed for 28R or give him the go around then is a question to be answered.

Additionally, two seconds after clearing AMX to land, ATC clears a Delta to land on the same runway.

Finally, about 15 seconds after clearing AMX, there is a blocked transmission on the recording where the tower and a pilot are talking at the same time. Could AMX have been blocked when asking for clarification on the runway assignment? (There is a call of "blocked" on the Norcal Approach recording, see below, but not for this one.)
