NTX Rayados and Ft. Worth Vaqueros meet on Wednesday in the first round of the 2018 Lamar Hunt US Open Cup. The game, taking place at Richland College Field 10, is the first meeting between two DFW-based teams in the cup since Dallas Roma recorded a 5-2 win over Azzuri FC in 2005. The winner of this weeks match will host FC Dallas' USL affiliate, OKC Energy, on May 16.
In the build-up to the game, we are previewing both teams starting with the hosts, NTX Rayados.
Who?
The Rayados were founded in 2011 as a way for Tito Salas and some of his former teammates to continue playing competitively.
