TULSA – After suffering a controversial first loss of the season, FC Tulsa has a chance to bounce back at home against Sporting Kansas City II on Saturday night. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. at ONEOK Field for this out-of-group clash that could see FC Tulsa leap right back into a playoff spot.
A win on Saturday night would be a great start to a packed set of upcoming fixtures for FC Tulsa, with five matches coming in the next fifteen days. Three points would also put FC Tulsa back ahead of Austin Bold FC and into second place in Group D.

Scouting Sporting Kansas City II
Sporting Kansas City II will make the trip across state and conference lines for the Saturday match with much to play for in Group E. The club is currently last place in the group of death but sits just six points off of a playoff spot, chasing Saint Louis FC, Louisville City FC, and Indy Eleven.
The SKCII offense is led by the prolific youngster Wilson Harris. The 20-year-old leads the team in goals with four so far this season, and FC Tulsa will be familiar with Harris’ skills. In the 2020 preseason friendly between these two teams, Harris scored a match-winning penalty in the 78’ to hand FC Tulsa its only preseason loss.
Storylines to Watch
Time to bounce back – FC Tulsa faced its toughest adversity of the season last Saturday, and now it’s tasked with rebounding from a loss for the first time in 2020. This Saturday’s match with SKCII will be a true test of FC Tulsa’s mettle.
Fight for the playoffs – With Austin Bold’s win last weekend and FC Tulsa’s loss, Bold FC moved into a playoff spot for the first time in nearly a month. However, on Wednesday night, Bold FC blew a four-goal lead on the road to Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC. This leaves a gap open for FC Tulsa to leap Bold FC, should it get three points on Saturday.
Fixture congestion – With a shortened 2020 season, fixture congestion was always going to be a concern, and the rescheduled Austin Bold match has only added to that. In the fifteen days between Aug. 29 and Sept. 12, FC Tulsa will play five matches, three at ONEOK Field and a doubleheader in Austin, Texas.
