So Nice, We Had to Do It Twice
Los Pájaros defeated Greenville Triumph away from home in convincing fashion. The night started off hot with Ajmeer Spengler reading a poorly placed pass from the Greenville defense and slotting it into the goalkeeper’s bottom corner to get the early lead. Early yellow cards to Texoma captain Jordan Chavez and Greenville’s Pascal Corvino would soon follow. Greenville would dominate most of the first half as Los Pájaros continued to absorb pressure, eventually ending the half with Texoma holding on to the 1-0 lead.
The second half would see Greenville continue their dominance they displayed in the first half, controlling a majority of the possession and outshooting Texoma 8 to 3. Defensive and goalkeeping heroics would keep Los Pájaros in the game and eventually win them all 3 points.
¡Móntate en La Javineta!
The McAllen native had quite the night between the sticks for Texoma. Garcia would continue his rich run of form since first starting in May, earning his 4th clean sheet of the season and making 7 saves on the night. 5 of his 7 saves came inside of the 18-yard box, including an incredible double save off of a Greenville corner in the first half. Despite making his league one debut in May, Garcia has cemented himself as one of, if not the best goalkeeper in USL League One this season.
T-Minus 9 Games
After tonight’s match, Los Pájaros have 9 games remaining in league play to cement a playoff spot. A tough challenge awaits on Wednesday as Texoma travels away to Madison, Wisconsin once again to face the Mingos on their home soil. This rematch will have a different feel to it as Texoma has found their form while the Mingos have yet to hit their stride this season.
Looking Forward
