Taiberson struck in second-half stoppage time to earn Rio Grande Valley FC a 1-1 draw against San Antonio FC in the South Texas Derby on Sunday night at H-E-B Park.
It didn’t take long for San Antonio to open the scoring as a long ball forward from the back was neatly flicked on by Luis Solignac into the path of an onrushing Cristian Parano in the third minute, and the 2019 Championship Young Player of the Year confidently controlled and finished into the left corner of the net for his first goal of the season.
The Toros almost found an answer in the 13th minute as an angled cross by Robert Coronado found James Murphy breaking into the penalty area, but the headed finish went wide of the right post.
