MATCH RECAP: FC Tulsa Double Up Little Rock Rangers SC in First Round of U.S. Open Cup

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (March 18, 2026) — FC Tulsa logged its first victory of 2026 with a 4-2 win in central Arkansas against Little Rock Rangers SC in the First Round of the U.S. Open Cup.

FC Tulsa is back in action at ONEOK Field next Saturday as it takes on Las Vegas Lights FC at 7 p.m. Tickets are available at fctulsa.com/tickets or by calling 918-727-2231. The match will be broadcast on NOTV (News on 6 Now). The club is excited to celebrate Gals and Goals Night on Saturday with promotional highlights including limited edition “In My Soccer Era” shirts for the first 1,000 fans through the gate, a friendship bracelet-making station on the concourse and special honorees at halftime.

FC Tulsa controlled the attack early on and finally found the back of the net once defender Harvey St. Clair volleyed home a cross from forward Bruno Lapa in the 19th minute. The lead then was doubled by an absolute rocket from close to 30 yards out by forward Jamie Webber whose strike should contend for the goal of the opening round.

The hosts came out firing to start the second 45 minutes and cut their deficit in half just six minutes in. Goalkeeper Dane Jacomen came up with some key saves to keep the Scissortails in front, however, before defender Lamar Batista headed in a free kick by Webber reasserted the two-goal advantage. A late goal from Little Rock in the 85th minute was responded to less than a minute later by newcomer forward Nelson Pierre to seal the deal for the Black and Gold.

Lapa and Pierre each recorded their first goal contributions for FC Tulsa while Jacomen and Alonzo Clarke made their Scissortail debuts. St. Clair, Webber and Batista all got on the scoresheet for the first time in 2026 as well.
