Lexington Extends unbeaten Streak to five in Physical Standoff Against FC Tulsa

Lexington SC News Release


LEXINGTON, KY - Lexington Sporting Club and FC Tulsa played to a 0-0 draw Saturday night to make it five unbeaten matches in Lexington's last six matches.

One word defined the match - physicality.

The two clubs combined for 31 fouls, the most in any LSC match this season. The Greens were shown six yellow cards on the night, while their counterpart received four.

Lexington dictated play throughout the first half. The Greens controlled nearly 70% of the ball through the first half and led Tulsa in shots (7-6) and touches in the opposition's box (10-8). The script flipped, however, in the second period when Lexington was forced to defend for the initial 30 minutes.

The Lexington attack resurrected in the final 10 minutes of the match when a Tarik Scott shot hammered against the crossbar, followed by two near-headers from his brother Malik Henry-Scott and Javain Brown.

Tempers flared at the end of the match and past the final whistle, setting the stage for a rematch at the Stables on October 9.

Final stats and post-match quotes from head coach Mac Hemmi, defender Jacob Greene and forward Marcus Epps are attached.
