FC Tulsa vs San Antonio: Key USL League One Cup Clash

FC Tulsa and San Antonio renew acquaintances at ONEOK Field in a pivotal USL League One Cup Group 3 clash, with top spot – and a strong push toward the playoffs – on the line.

The hosts sit 2nd in the group on 4 points (goal difference 0), while San Antonio lead the way with 5 points and a +3 goal difference. Tulsa’s Cup form strip (tail-5) is effectively L-W, with one home defeat (1-2) and one away win (1-0). San Antonio arrive in perfect Cup rhythm, Form: W-W, with two wins from two and no goals conceded.

Recent competitive head-to-heads are finely balanced. In April’s US Open Cup 1/32 final (Round of 64), FC Tulsa won 1-0 after extra time at Toyota Field. The league meeting at ONEOK Field in March ended 0-0, while in the 2025 USL Championship Tulsa beat San Antonio 2-0 at home, and the earlier 2025 trip to Toyota Field finished 1-1.

Statistically this season in the Cup, Tulsa average 1.0 goals for and 1.0 against per game, while San Antonio have 2 clean sheets from 2 and have yet to concede. With San Antonio’s defensive solidity and current group position, the edge leans slightly toward the visitors avoiding defeat, though another tight, low-scoring contest is likely.
