For Palomino, it was his fourth goal in as many games. Midland native Darius Strambler also picked up his fourth assist of the season. Fort Worth (4-1-0, 12 pts) would get its equalizer in the 71st minute when Harris Partain scored off an assist from Jamie Lovegrove. The Vaqueros would then take the lead in the 86th minute as Henrik Mueller was given a red card for taking Matt Rochowski down in the box. Johnny McBeth also received a red card on the play and Midland-Odessa FC had to play two men down the rest of the match. On the ensuing penalty kick after Mueller’s red card, it would be Lovegrove who converted the PK, which ultimately gave Fort Worth the three points.
