TULSA, Okla. –

FC Tulsa created numerous attacking threats, but couldn’t find the back of the net in a 0-0 draw against San Antonio FC at ONEOK Field on Saturday night in the 2026 home opener.

The Scissortails had several attacking opportunities in the first half, but neither team could scratch out a goal.

FC Tulsa outshot San Antonio seven to five in the second half, and led in percent of possession at 56. Remi Cabral and Stefan Lukic came on as late subs and several chances, but the game ended in a scoreless tie.

POST-MATCH QUOTES

Head coach Luke Spencer: “I think overall, it was a good performance from an effort and intensity standpoint. I thought we created enough chances, certainly enough set -piece opportunities. I just think we need to be cleaner in the final action finish. If I look at the growth from the game at Sacramento to this game, I’m very pleased with the growth that we saw today.”

Alex Tambakis: “Last year playing with New Mexico, I saw that this club is really good defensively. Everybody defends really well here and does it together from the striker to the keeper. That’s something that FC Tulsa is known for defensively – keeping clean sheets. We were just a little unlucky up top today.”

Owen Damm: “I think [long throws] were a big part of our identity last year. For us, it is a set piece, and set pieces win games. The center of our identity is set pieces, and we had probably 20 of them tonight. To not get a goal is disappointing, but on the bright side, we are getting those set piece opportunities, and we didn’t concede, so there’s something to take away from this game.”
