SAN ANTONIO - FC Tulsa took down San Antonio FC, 3-1, on Saturday to mark the club's first win in San Antonio in franchise history.

With the result, FC Tulsa moved to 6-7-6 (25 points) on the season, while San Antonio FC dropped to 5-5-11 (20 points).

San Antonio led the charge to open play, getting on the scoresheet 15 minutes in with a goal from Luis Solignac, which came assisted by Jorge Hernández. The ball squeaked by FC Tulsa goalkeeper Johan Peñaranda to close a franchise-best three-match shutout streak.

Possession was split fairly evenly between the teams in the first half with FC Tulsa having 51.2%.

FC Tulsa found its groove in the latter stages of the first half, with Phillip Goodrum drilling a header in the 42nd minute to even the score at one apiece. For Goodrum, the goal marked his fifth of the season.

The second half kicked off and just four minutes later, Edwin Laszo scored his second goal of the season. His goal came off a free kick ball dropoff by Phillip Goodrum, and his shot was taken outside the 18-yard box and was a laser of a shot. The broadcaster referred to it as "a Golazo by Laszo." Edwin's goal came after a goal by Luis Solignac that was ultimately called offside.

San Antonio FC held 58.3% of possession in the second half, taking eight shots but only one of them was on target, which Johan Peñaranda easily dealt with.

FC Tulsa was looking for an insurance goal and halftime substitution Stefan Stojanovic delivered with a dart from the penalty arc off a ball from Blaine Ferri.

The FC Tulsa's defense held San Antonio FC off the board for the rest of the match and the match ended in a 3-1 win for FC Tulsa, their first win in San Antonio in franchise history.

Up next, FC Tulsa returns to ONEOK Field on Friday, August 9, at 7:30 p.m. CT to take on Orange County SC. The club will host Pearl Beach Brew Pub $1 Beer Section Night and the club's only home match in August. For tickets visit, fctulsa.com/tickets.
