As a result, FC Tulsa carries a 6-9-7 (27 points) record, while Memphis 901 FC carries an 11-5-9 (38 points) record, which is good for third place in the Western Conference.
On a hot and humid night in Memphis, Tennessee, FC Tulsa got off to a slow start. In the opening 15 minutes, Memphis 901 FC generated six shot attempts while carrying 55% of the possession.
Forward Stefan Stojanovic looked to get FC Tulsa on the board in the 13th minute of the match, but his goal was called offside.
