Chicago Fire USL affiliate Tulsa Roughnecks FC defeated Houston Dynamo affiliate Rio Grande Valley FC 1-0 at H-E-B Park on Saturday, in a match that featured all three Fire loanees.
Highlights were plentiful in this match, one that proved to be a rather open-ended affair—not that the scoreline reflects this. However, not too many plays from Fire loanees made it into the highlight reel.
The one that stands out was a golden opportunity for striker Joey Calistri to continue his hot start to the season. In the 34th minute the ball fell to the former Northwestern Wildcat’s feet on the six-yard-line, but he was unable to get his shot off before Toros’ defender Kai Greene stepped across to block.
