11 of 15
Texoma FC was held to a 2-2 draw against South Georgia Tormenta in front of a crowd of 2,657 at Bearcat Stadium. The game got off to a fast start with Tormenta getting the first goal of the match in the 9th minute from a Gabriel Alves strike. Los Pájaros would strike back in the 21st minute thanks to a Will Perkins header; his first in his professional career. 8 minutes later, Aaron Walker would get the go ahead goal for Tormenta off of a Gabriel Alves assist. Before the break, Luke McCormick would get his first goal of his professional career, gliding past the defense to earn the equalizer. The Englishman's goal proved to be the last of the game as his goal earned Los Pájaros a point. This result now extends Texoma's unbeaten run to five games, earning a total of 11 points out of a possible 15.
Familiar Faces
Tonight's match saw 3 Pájaros go up against their former side, South Georgia Tormenta. Texoma FC players Preston Kilwien, Ajmeer Spengler, and Davey Mason all played against their former side. Despite strong ties to their previous side, there was no love lost during the match, highlighted by Spengler's yellow card in the second half.
Spoiled For Choice
Earlier this week, Coach Forbes expressed his joy and dismay for having a fully fit squad to choose from. The gaffa expressed that the best issue he has faced recently is picking who plays and who he leaves out as everyone is on their A-Game. A testament to his sentiments came 2 weeks ago where Teddy Baker took the opportunity to come on as a substitute against Greenville Triumph and hasn't looked back since. Tonight, Brandon McManus returned to the matchday squad and offered multiple opportunities for Los Pájaros to score. Phila Dlamini also put in a shift for the team, constantly running and putting pressure on Tormenta. If these performances demonstrate anything, it demonstrates the hard work that goes on behind the scenes, at the training ground and in the film room.
Looking Forward
Texoma FC return to Bearcat Stadium to face Charlotte Independence Saturday, June 21. Kickoff is at 7:30 PM CST.
