Defeat in the Mountains
Texoma FC ended their maiden USL Jägermeister Cup campaign in defeat against reigning USL Championship champions, Colorado Springs Switchbacks. The first half saw both teams go back and forth, with Texoma FC looking dangerous on the attack just as much as the Switchbacks. In the 37th minute, the home team would strike first off a Juan Tejada goal, taking the 1-0 lead into the half.
The second half would tip the scale the Switchback’s way, scoring an additional 3 times in the last 45 minutes. Despite cameo appearances from Brayan Padilla, Lamin Jawneh, and USL Jägermeister Cup joint top scorer Diego Pepi, Los Pájaros couldn’t manage to score, ending the game 0-4.
What Comes Next
Los Pájaros return to USL League One action against Charlotte Independence in their second to last away game before returning to Bearcat Stadium. This match will be the end of a trilogy between the two sides this season, both sharing one win each. With 12 goals total in their past two encounters, next Saturday’s match is going to be one to watch.
