Tulsa beat Sacramento Republic 1-0 in the USL Championship Group Stage on 6 August 2026. J. Webber scored the decisive goal in the 66th minute to secure all three points for the hosts at home. By then both sides had already seen their share of yellow cards and substitutions, though the match had barely been tested until that moment.
Webber had his name on the scoresheet after a quiet first half in which there was little to separate the two sides. The yellow card he received in the 30th minute seemed an early warning, and Sacramento pushed for an equaliser after the break. Tulsa saw the game out with a few changes, including B. Sparks coming on in the 64th minute to help steady things.
And here's the thing about the numbers — Sacramento had 55 per cent possession and created two big chances, but came away with nothing. Tulsa managed just 45 per cent of the ball and one big chance, yet their three shots on target produced the winner. Eight shots against four for Sacramento, and the visitors still finished empty-handed.
Tulsa remain fourth in the table with 36 points from 22 games, three ahead of seventh-placed Sacramento on 33. The home side extended their unbeaten run to eight without a defeat since mid-July, while the visitors' momentum from that 5-0 win over Sporting Jacksonville looked to have stalled.
