Tulsa Roughnecks F.C. (TRFC) are back at ONEOK Field for its first home match since April 23. It is the second meeting of the season between the Interstate 44 rivals after playing to a 0-0 draw on April 16 in St. Louis.

SATURDAY'S PROMOTION

Saturday, May 21 vs. Saint Louis FC

Kickoff at 7:00PM (Gates open at 5:30PM)

FIREWORKS

Fans can enjoy Professional Soccer and Fireworks on Saturday evening. Young fans will want to come early to participate in a pre-match Soccer Clinic with the Roughnecks coaches and selected players, courtesy of McDonald's beginning at 5:30pm. After the Roughnecks meet Saint Louis FC, a spectacular Fireworks display will light up the downtown Tulsa skies courtesy of 2 Works for You and 106.9 K-Hits!

THE TWO TEAMS

TRFC will enter the match with 7 points and a 2-6-1 record through its first nine matches of the regular season. Saint Louis comes in with 11 points and a 3-3-2 mark through eight matches.

BACK HOME AGAIN

For the Roughnecks, it is their first home match since April 23. After opening the season with four of its first five matches at ONEOK Field, Tulsa has played four consecutive road games.

Saint Louis will be accustomed to being away from home as the game will mark the seventh away fixture in nine matches. In those seven games, STLFC has picked up 7 points with two wins and one draw.

OCHOA STRIKES AGAIN

After recording back-to-back braces in games at Vancouver and Seattle, Sammy Ochoa picked up another goal in last week's defeat in Kansas City. The Tulsa captain has five goals on the season with all five coming in the last three matches.

INJURY UPDATE

The Roughnecks are expected to have the services of Iarfhlaith Davoren for Saturday's match. Davoren has missed the past four matches with a muscle strain. The news is not as good for Cristian Mata and Raymond Lee. Both are unlikely to be available due to injuries.

SERIES HISTORY

TRFC will be looking for its first-ever win against Saint Louis FC. In the only match between the two teams last year, STLFC gained a 2-0 victory at ONEOK Field.

ORANGE KITS

The Roughnecks will wear their traditional orange home kits for Saturday's match. Saint Louis will be in its all navy kits.

MARCH TO THE MATCH

At 6:45pm, all fans are invited to participate in the March to the Match that will be led by the Roustabouts. The March will begin at the Oil Derrick Entrance and conclude at The Rig, the seating section of the Roustabouts.
