    OKC ENERGY FC (1), COLORADO SPRINGS SWITCHBACKS FC (2)
    OKLAHOMA CITY – The Switchbacks got their season off to a winning start with a victory on the road against Energy FC at Taft Stadium.

    The Switchbacks opened the game well and took the lead in the 16th minute when Aidan Daniels’ low cross from the right side was bundled home at the back post by Christian Volesky. OKC’s Frank Lopez almost answered for the hosts five minutes later only to be denied as Colorado Springs goalkeeper Sean Melvin came off his line quickly to snuff out the chance.

    Lopez also had a chance nine minutes before halftime as he fired just wide of the left post from 25 yards, but in the 58th minute Energy FC hit back as Atiba Harris headed home a free kick by Tucker Stephenson from 40 yards out on the left into the bottom-right corner of the net. Lopez then had a chance to put OKC ahead on the hour-mark, only to be denied again by Melvin.

    Volesky also had a chance at his second goal of the night with 20 minutes to go as he volleyed over the crossbar from 15 yards, but with 12 minutes to go the decisive moment arrived as a powerful low shot by Colorado Springs’ Uvaldo Luna was turned into his own goal by Stephenson for what proved the winner for the visitors.

    USLChampionship.com Man of the Match

    Colorado Springs Switchbacks (USL Championship) 0, Northern Colorado Hailstorm FC (USL League One) 0, 0-1 AET
    https://www.ussoccer.com/stories/20...o-of-2022-lamar-hunt-us-open-cup-second-round
    Jerry Desdunes hit a lightning bolt for Hailstorm FC in the club’s first-ever competitive match. Desdunes scored against the run of play in the 96th minute as Northern Colorado Hailstorm FC won its U.S. Open Cup debut at Weidner Field in Colorado Springs, CO. Irvin Parra, who last scored in the U.S. Open Cup as a member of L.A. Wolves FC in 2017, was sent off for a malicious elbow in the 26th minute, and Hailstorm played with only 10 men for the final 60-plus minutes of regular time. The match finished with even numbers after Switchbacks FC’s Tristan Hodge received his second yellow card and was sent off in the first period of overtime. Switchbacks FC’s Macauley King had a shot on goal stopped by Hailstorm FC goalkeeper Daniel Faundez in the 116th minute. Foundez made two saves in the cupset victory.
