The Swope Park Rangers (4-2-4, 16 points) drew 0-0 with Rio Grande Valley FC (1-3-6, 9 points) at H-E-B Park on Saturday night.
The beginning of the first half was mostly back-and-forth action with RGV missing multiple attempts on goal.
In the 30th minute, Sporting KC loanee and USL leading goal scorer Kharlton Belmar had a beautiful left-footed attempt from the left side, but it dinged the crossbar and sailed away. Belmar was at it again in the 33rd minute with a shot from the opposite side, assisted by Hadji Barry, but it was blocked.
RGV was awarded a penalty kick in the 43rd minute after a foul was awarded in the penalty area.
