MATCH RECAP: FC Tulsa Drop Final Group Stage Match in Prinx Tires USL Cup

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (July 11, 2026) — Two late goals by Birmingham Legion FC lifted them to a 3-1 result over FC Tulsa on Saturday night at Protective Stadium in the final match of the 2026 Prinx Tires USL Cup group stage.

The hosts came out on the front foot with goalkeeper Dane Jacomen forced to make some impressive saves in the opening half hour. Birmingham capped this run of pressure with a wonder strike in the 28th minute to put them on top early.

It only took Tulsa five minutes to respond, however, as off a set piece, midfielder Giordano Colli crossed a ball that found the head of forward Logan Dorsey to level the match in the 33rd minute. More attacking chances for the Scissortails followed in the coming minutes, but the match remained deadlocked at halftime.

Birmingham rediscovered their early attacking prowess in the second half with a barrage of chances that the Tulsa back line were able to fend off. A wicked deflection, however, in the 84th minute off defender Harvey St Clair was the winning goal for the Legion and was followed by another in the 93rd minute to seal the deal.

Dorsey’s goal was his second across all competitions for FC Tulsa this season and first in the USL Cup. Colli recorded his first assist while Jacomen’s six saves were his most against a USL opponent this season.

FC Tulsa is back in action at ONEOK Field on Saturday, July 18 as it takes on El Paso Locomotive FC at 7:30 p.m. in a Western Conference clash. Tickets are available at fctulsa.com/tickets or by calling 918-727-2231. The match will be broadcast on My41 and streamed on ESPN+.
