FC Tucson News Release


Gio Calixtro scored in FC Tucson's match against the Richmond Kickers at City Stadium in Richmond, Virginia, on Saturday, Aug. 6, 2022.

Gio Calixtro scored on a well-timed strike in the first half, but it wasn't enough as FC Tucson ultimately fell to the Richmond Kickers, 3-1, on Saturday evening at City Stadium.

Franco Perez won the ball in the 28th minute and dribbled it into the box before laying it off for Calixtro, who delivered it into the top right corner of the net.

Unfortunately for FC Tucson (3-10-4, 13 points), Richmond tied up the game right before halftime on a goal from Ethan Vanacore-Decker.

Emiliano Terzaghi, the two-time USL League One MVP and Golden Boot winner, scored a pair of second-half goals to put the game away. Richmond won its third straight to improve to 10-6-4 (34 points) and move to the top of the league.

"We were a bit unlucky in the equalizier. And then Terzaghi on the counder does what he does. The red card was disappointing; we were still creating chances in the match. Obviously, it was an incredibly disappointing result to end 1-3 and down a man." - FC Tucson Head Coach Jon Pearlman
