MEMPHIS – FC Tulsa’s undefeated streak ends in Memphis at six in a 2-0 loss
On a hot and humid night in Memphis, Tennessee FC Tulsa got off to a slow start. The home team took six shots in the first 15 minutes of the match, luckily none went in. FC Tulsa controlled only 45% of possession in the first half.
Forward Stefan Stojanovic looked to get FC Tulsa on the board in the 14th minute of the match but his goal was called offside.
In the 34th minute, after a foul by Bradley Bourgeois in the 18-yard-box, the home team took the 1-0 advantage. As the first half came to a close, FC Tulsa had not attempted a single shot on target.
Much of the second half played out similar to the first. FC Tulsa held 42% of possession and attempted only four shots while Memphis attempted 11. In the 56th minute, FC Tulsa’s newest addition Aaron Bibout made his FC Tulsa debut coming in for Harvey St Clair.

In the 68th minute of the match Memphis 901 FC doubled their lead with a goal coming from Samuel Careaga.
Johan Peñaranda made several great saves and even took one off the face, but unfortunately it wasn’t FC Tulsa’s night.
