It was a busy weekend for Chicago’s USL affiliate Roughnecks FC, as they played matches on both Thursday and Saturday night.
On Thursday, Tulsa welcomed Vancouver Whitecaps 2—fondly nicknamed the Thundercaps by their supporters—to ONEOK Field in a match that they desperately needed three points from.
Not only did they get the result they needed, but they did so in dominant fashion.
Both Collin Fernandez and Joey Calistri—a pair of Chicago Fire loanees—started in this match, and they both played extremely well. Fernandez was up and down the pitch, putting in tackles when necessary and providing the Tulsa back line some much needed cover.
