TULSA, Okla. (July 1, 2025) FC Tulsa forward Taylor Calheira leads the charge in this week’s Team of the Round after another standout performance for FC Tulsa in last Saturday’s USL Jägermeister Cup Third Round clash against USL League One side Chattanooga Red Wolves SC. Calheira‘s dominant display and clinical finishing helped secure a spot among the best eleven in the competition and helped secure a 4-1 win
Why Calheira Stands Out
Calheira led from the front again, notching a goal and an assist in Tulsa’s first Jägermeister Cup victory of 2025. Using his stature to full effect, leveled the game 1-1 with a towering header in the 20th minute, then showed his creative side by assisting Stefan Lukic’s third goal—demonstrating his ability to both finish and facilitate.
This performance adds to his growing Cup résumé and underscores why he continues to be one of FC Tulsa’s most dangerous players in all competitions.

Calheira’s Cup Consistency
His goalscoring form is remarkable—3 goals in his first 3 Cup matches—mirroring his early season impact in league play. With nine goals across all competitions this season, Calheira is proving to be a constant threat in the box.
What’s Next
FC Tulsa is now 1–1–1 in Jägermeister Cup play, having drawn at One Knoxville, lost a tight 2–1 battle on Greenwood Night to Birmingham Legion, and now earning a convincing win over Chattanooga.
