Energy FC Host LA Galaxy II Tomorrow Night
May 31, 2019 - United Soccer League Championship (USL)
OKC Energy FC News Release
Energy FC (5th, 5-4-3, 18 points) wrap up a three-match, league homestand tomorrow night after coming off back-to-back wins. Last Saturday, the Greens defeated Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC, 1-0, thanks to Omar Gordon's thunder-strike in the 15th minute and the team's second clean sheet of the season. Alvin Jones earned USL Championship Team of the Week honors for Week 12 for his stellar performance. OKC then advanced to the Fourth Round of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup after a thrilling, 4-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rowdies on Tuesday night. Gordon, Alexy Bosetti, Christian Eissele and Deshorn Brown all got in on the goals to book a spot against FC Dallas in the next round.
Tomorrow's visit from LA Galaxy II (9th, 4-4-5, 13 points) could potentially be another goal fest. Energy FC have scored in every match this year, including 19 times in USL Championship play and seven times in the U.S. Open Cup. Los Dos have found the back of the net on 22 occasions, making them the fifth-most proficient attacking team in the league. Where Los Dos have struggled is on the defensive end. LA has given up 22 goals, the second-most in all of the USL Championship. Energy FC are tied for the 10th-most goals conceded with 19; however, 10 of those came during a difficult, three-match stretch where the side was struggling with injuries and new additions to the squad.
