Finally
After 8 games played in USL League One, Texoma FC finally earned their first win in club history against the reigning USL League One champions, Union Omaha. After a string of improving results over the past couple of weeks, Los Pajaros were finally able to get all 3 points at home. Goals from Solomon Asante and Ajmeer Spengler secured the victory for Los Pajaros as they look to continue their good run of form next week against Greenville Triumph.
MVP for a Reason
35-year-old Solomon Asante came into the Texoma side with an incredible resume of individual and collective achievements. That being said, the Ghanaian international faced a new challenge when he joined Los Pajaros; lead the team to victory. Despite a slow start for the midfielder, Asante has demonstrated over the past few games why he was named two-time back-to-back USL Championship MVP. In the club’s past 5 USL1 games, Asante has scored 2 goals and provided an assist as his side kept edging closer to earning their first win. With the first win in the bag, Asante will be looking to help this side keep their form going into the rest of the season.
La Javineta
27-year-old Javier Garcia made his second start for Los Pajaros tonight after an impressive run of form over the past few weeks. While the McAllen native wasn’t able to secure his third consecutive clean sheet, the keeper made 5 saves on the night, including an impressive reaction save to help his side win all 3 points.
Looking Forward
