MATCH RECAP: FC Tulsa Bow Out of U.S. Open Cup in St. Louis

St. Louis, MO. (April 15, 2026) — FC Tulsa were bounced in the Round of 32 of the U.S. Open Cup on Wednesday night at the hands of St. Louis CIty SC at Energizer Park in 4-0 fashion.

The Scissortais created some early attacking threats within the opening 10 minutes but couldn’t capitalize. The hosts then responded with a strike from the top of the box in the 20th minute and another off a route one clearance in the 36th to head into the locker room up a pair.

It was more of the same in the second half for St. Louis as a superb free kick pushed their lead to three. A red card from Tulsa defender Lucas Stauffer didn’t help matters for the Scissortails as another late strike from outside the box finished things off to send the hosts to Chicago for the Round of 16.

Goalkeeper Dane Jacomen made seven saves on the evening, tied for his most on the season (3/18/26 vs. Little Rock Rangers SC). Tonight was the fourth matchup for FC Tulsa against an MLS opponent in the Open Cup as the club still searches for its first such victory.

It’s a quick turnaround for the Scissortails as they travel to face Oakland Roots SC on Saturday night in a key Western Conference clash. The match will be streamed on ESPN+ with live match updates on X/Twitter.

FC Tulsa is back in action at ONEOK Field on Saturday, April 25 as it takes on One Knoxville SC at 7 p.m. for their first match in the 2026 Prinx Tires USL Cup. Tickets are available at fctulsa.com/tickets or by calling 918-727-2231. The match will be broadcast on Tulsa CW stations and streamed on ESPN+.
