AC Juniors vs University of Houston (Saturday, May 17 – 6:00 PM)

Final Score: University of Houston 4-0 AC Juniors (Forfeit in 28')

University of Houston stormed out of the gates with a commanding start, scoring four goals in a span of just nine minutes. But the match took an unexpected turn in the 28th minute when an AC Juniors player went down with injury. Already fielding the minimum of seven players, the injury forced a forfeit—ending the match early and sealing a 4-0 win for UofH. While AC Juniors had already clinched a playoff spot, this result raises questions about their depth and readiness with two weeks left in the season. UofH, meanwhile, all but confirms their place in the postseason with a dominant and dramatic win.

Longhorn FC vs Houston United (Saturday, May 17 – 8:00 PM)

Final Score: Longhorn FC 5-3 Houston United

Longhorn FC showed up and showed out in a 5-3 win over Houston United, fueled by sharp finishing and a determined mindset. @sam_senju_ made his second consecutive start in goal, providing stability and big saves in a high-pressure game.

But the spotlight belonged to @dareal9money, who earned HTown Pulse’s Man of the Match honors with a standout performance. From creative link-up play to a clinical attacking presence, he was at the center of everything Longhorn created going forward.

With playoff hopes gone, Longhorn is shifting its focus to securing 7th place and a ticket to the 2025 Houston Super Cup—and this performance keeps that dream very much alive.
