MATCH PREVIEW
The Swope Park Rangers (9-7-4, 6th place) will face Rio Grande Valley FC (2-6-10, 15th place) at Children’s Mercy Park on Sunday, July 22 at 4:00 p.m. CT. This match will be their fifth match of a set of five in 18 days for SPR. The first match in this span was at Seattle Sounders FC 2 on July 5 in a 2-0 victory. SPR saw the team’s 15-match home unbeaten streak snapped last Tuesday in a 3-1 loss against Sacramento Republic FC. The third match ended in a 2-1 loss to Portland Timbers FC 2 on the road on Saturday. The most recent match, on Wednesday, ended in a 4-0 loss to Orange County SC. This will be the second meeting of the season between SPR and RGV. In May, the sides played to a scoreless stalemate at H-E-B Park in Edinburg, Texas, highlighted by Eric Dick’s penalty kick save to preserve the clean sheet and road result. RGV is coming off a 2-0 victory over Las Vegas Lights FC and is riding a four-game unbeaten run, during which the team has allowed a single goal.
