The Rio Grande Valley FC Toros produced an impressive attacking display in their inaugural match, but were undone by tough luck, an in-form opposing goalkeeper and a sensational goal in a 2-0 defeat to Tulsa Roughnecks FC Saturday at ONEOK Field.
RGV FC, the hybrid affiliate of the Houston Dynamo, tallied 22 shots – 12 on goal – and hit the goal frame three times, including twice in the game’s first ten minutes. First, Dynamo Academy product Memo Rodriguez struck the crossbar before forward Dzenan Catic followed suit from 25 yards soon after.
The Toros continued to control the game when misfortune struck again in the 32nd minute.
