Eric Bird scored in his third straight game as the Rio Grande Valley FC Toros played to a 1-1 draw with Arizona United SC Wednesday night at the UT RGV Soccer Complex. It was a bittersweet result for the Toros, who hit the crossbar moments before Arizona United counterattacked for the equalizing goal.
RGV FC (6-4-5; 23 points) is now unbeaten in five straight home games (3-0-2) and undefeated (3-0-1) following a loss this season.
Bird earned the start after scoring in the previous two games and capitalized on the opportunity, collecting a well-timed through ball from Jose Escalante and finishing from 15 yards for a 1-0 lead in the 21st minute.
