A Point to Prove
Texoma FC earned the first point in club history against Forward Madison, ending 1-1. The breakthrough goal for Texoma came in the 73rd minute when forward Brayan Padilla headed home a great cross from Will Perkins. Despite holding the lead for over 20 minutes, it wasn't enough for the win as Forward Madison's Derek Gebhard netted a scrappy goal to earn the homeside a 1-1 result.
A Goal to Remember
Forward Brayan Padilla's life was a little different just two weeks ago. Padilla was the General Manager for Semi-Pro team Foro SC while also working for USL Super League side Dallas Trinity. Just two weeks after signing a 25 day contract with Texoma FC and a week off of making his pro debut, Padilla scored his first ever professional goal. Despite scoring 3 goals in the US Open Cup this season, this is Padilla's first time playing for a professional team and is proving his worth for Los Pajaros.
Guess Who's Back (And Who's Here)
Tonight's match saw the return of multiple players that were missing for the past few games. Defenders Jordan Chavez, Preston Kilwien, and Angelo Calfo saw their return to the matchday squad in Wisconsin. Not only that, international's Dane Domić and Maciej Bortniczuk made their debut's to the matchday squad for the first time this season after waiting for visa approval.
Looking Forward
Texoma FC face USL Championship side El Paso Locomotive in USL Jägermeister Cup action next Saturday, April 26. Kickoff is at 6 PM CST. Tickets available now.
