Rio Grande Valley (0-2-0) fell to Fresno FC (1-0-1) in their home opener 2-0 on Saturday night. Houston Dynamo defender Chris Duvall played 90 minutes in a rehab start, and fellow defender Sam Junqua made his professional debut starting for the Toros.
The Foxes struck very early with a goal in the 2nd minute. Jackson passed to Arun Basuljevic, who took a right-footed shot from the center of the box to the bottom left corner. Although Fresno had the lead, RGV FC had three consecutive shots that weren’t able to hit the back of the net.
In the 18th minute, forward Carlos Small had an attempt from the left side of the box but missed up high and wide.
