In the first match of the 2019 USL Championship season, RGVFC dropped a 1-0 result on the road vs. Tacoma Defiance, formerly Seattle Sounders FC 2.
The Toros outshot Defiance (17-12), but they put less shots on frame (5-2). Unfortunately, Wilmer Cabrera Jr. was responsible for some of those off-target shots. He had two great chances in the first half that he was not able to convert.
After the visitors pushed the action in the first half, the hosts took the lead in the second frame. A headed cross into the box led to a header off the post and a follow up being blasted home from close range past Ben Willis.
