They say a picture tells a thousand stories, and the lens of Pittsburgh Soccer Now photographer Ed Thompson caught every bit of emotion, intensity, and ultimate frustration at FNB Stadium on Wednesday night.

Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC dropped a 1-0 decision to FC Tulsa in a high-stakes rematch of last November’s 2025 USL Championship Final.

July Swoon Continues: Disjointed Riverhounds fall 1-0 to Tulsa for fourth league defeat in five

The defeat marks Pittsburgh’s fourth loss in their last five league matches, pushing their overall record below .500 at 7W-8L-2D (23 points) as a grueling July comes to a close.

How FC Tulsa Struck the Early Blow: Logan Dorsey Goal Sequence

It all started with a routine Riverhounds throw-in near midfield that went wrong. FC Tulsa midfielder Jamie Webber rose above the crowd to win the aerial duel, flicking a headers-up pass into open space across the halfway line.

The bouncing ball spilled directly into the path of Tulsa forward Logan Dorsey, who gathered possession and drove into the attacking third untouched. Despite four Riverhounds defenders scrambling to recover their rest-defense positioning, Dorsey recognized the gap, carried the ball forward, and uncorked a curling, long-range right-footed strike from nearly 25 yards out.

With Pittsburgh goalkeeper Nico Campuzano caught slightly off his line, the laser effort bypassed the outstretched dive of the Hounds netminder, nestling neatly into the lower right corner of the net to give the visitors a 1-0 lead that held all the way to the final whistle.

📷 Battle on the Pitch & Frustration at the Break

Ed Thompson’s sideline shots captured the fierce battles throughout the 90 minutes. Hounds veterans Robbie Mertz, Danny Griffin and Junior Etou left everything on the field, fighting for every inch of turf in midfield as Pittsburgh tried to break down Tulsa’s organized shape.

The mounting tension boiled over at the halftime whistle—with Pittsburgh trailing 1-0 off Logan Dorsey’s 15th-minute transition goal—as Griffin was captured having animated words with the match officials heading down the tunnel.

A Hometown Triumph for Pittsburgh’s Own Dane Jacomen

While it was a evening to forget for the home supporters, the night belonged to Pittsburgh native Dane Jacomen.

The FC Tulsa goalkeeper returned home to Highmark Stadium and delivered a performance to remember, recording a clean sheet to seal his second consecutive win in net. Jacomen—a former standout at Allderdice High School who honed his skills training and playing within the Riverhounds Development Academy (RDA)—stifled his former club’s late comeback push, including a sharp 70th-minute diving save on Hounds debutant Yu Tsukanome.

Following a collegiate career at Penn and a 17-match run with Loudoun United FC, Jacomen has found a winning home in Tulsa under head coach Luke Spencer—the former Louisville City FC legend who led LouCity to the 2018 USL Championship title as a player before taking the managerial reigns for the defending Western Conference Champions.
