First Test on the Road
Texoma FC’s match against Spokane was the sides first ever away game, unfortunately resulting in a loss. The Birds fell 1-4 against last year’s USL1 finalists. The sole goal for TFC came from the returning Ajmeer Spengler in the 60’ minute assisted by veteran captain, Solomon Asante.
An Important Return
Texoma FC’s visit to Spokane saw the return of midfielder Ajmeer Spengler to the side after picking up a suspension in the March 29th game against Westchester SC. Spengler made his presence known on his return to the side by scoring his first goal for Texoma FC in the 62’ minute. Spengler now sits joint top of the Texoma FC leader board with the most goal contributions this season, (accompanied by Brandon McManus, 2). The number 10 will look to build on his stellar performance and help motivate his side against a dangerous Forward Madison team.
Missing Pieces
Tonight’s match saw a new addition to the unavailable squad list as captain Jordan Chavez missed tonight’s match with an injury. Chavez’ defensive partner Preston Kilwien also missed tonight’s match despite being on the bench with a slight knock.
Looking Forward
Texoma FC face Wisconsin based team Forward Madison next Saturday, April 19. Kickoff is at 6 PM CST with coverage on ESPN+.
