RGV FC Conclude Road Schedule with 2-0 Win at OKC

Rio Grande Valley leapfrogged Energy FC in the Western Conference standings with a road victory at Taft Stadium. The hosts nearly took the lead through a bit of luck in the 22nd minute as Omar Gordon’s off-target shot struck Christian Eissele and the OKC forward was able to get the ball out of his feet quickly for a second effort that just slid wide of the post. RGVFC goalkeeper Ben Willis was called into action moments later as OKC moved forward again with Cordell Cato sliding a through ball to Deshorn Brown, who tried to pick out the bottom-right corner with the outside of his right boot, but Willis extended well to make the stop. Eissele fired just over with dipping volley from the edge of the box on the half-hour mark and Callum Ross struck the left post with a powerful effort from 25 yards out on the stroke of halftime as Energy FC continued to press for an opener.
