Ghosttown Saints will look to bounce back after last week's tough loss, as they face off against Longhorn FC in a pivotal matchup. Ghosttown, having faced a challenging result in their previous fixture, will be looking to tighten up defensively and regain their attacking flow. Longhorn FC, on the other hand, is coming off a tough 4-0 loss to Dynasty FC, and they’ll be hungry to show they can rebound and improve their offensive output. Both teams will need to find consistency and capitalize on opportunities to make a strong push for the playoffs.
Houstonians FC vs Little United – 6:00 PM (Field 1)

MAFC vs. University of Houston (March 8, 6:00 PM – Field 1)
MAFC comes into this matchup riding high after a solid 3-1 win over Houstonians. Sitting near the top of the standings, they’ll look to continue their dominance against a UH side that just put up five goals in their latest victory over Fuego.

AC Juniors vs. Houstonians (March 8, 6:00 PM – Field 2)
AC Juniors bounced back in a big way last week, winning a high-scoring 6-4 battle against Houston United. Now, they face a Houstonians team coming off a tough 3-1 loss to MAFC.

Vinotinto HTX vs. Houston United (March 8, 8:15 PM – Field 1)
Vinotinto is coming off a disappointing 5-1 loss to Dynasty, and they’ll need a strong response to turn things around. Houston United, despite scoring four goals last match, couldn’t keep up with AC Juniors in a 6-4 loss. With both teams struggling defensively, this game could turn into an end-to-end battle where mistakes could prove costly.
Fuego SL vs. Ghosttown Saints (March 8, 8:15 PM – Field 2)
Fuego has had a tough season, suffering another setback with a 5-2 loss to UH. Now, they face a Ghosttown team that got a free win via forfeit last week. The Saints are in a solid position in the standings and will look to take advantage of Fuego’s defensive struggles. If Fuego wants to pull off an upset, they’ll need a complete performance to keep their playoff hopes alive.
Little United vs. SCA Rayados (Forfeit – 3-0 Win for Little United)
With SCA Rayados unable to compete, Little United will take the automatic victory and enjoy a bye week.
Longhorn FC vs. Dynasty FC (March 9, 6:00 PM – Field 1)

Seinfeld is coming off a heavy 8-1 defeat to MAFC, and they’ll be eager to turn things around. Apostles, fresh from a 3-3 draw with Los Santos, have shown they can score but need to tighten up defensively. Expect both teams to fight hard for the win.
Ballers HFA vs. Southend City (8:15 PM, Field 1)
Ballers remain a top contender after a 4-1 victory over AFC, while Southend is coming off a 1-1 draw that ended early due to injury. Ballers have been clinical in front of goal, and Southend will need a disciplined defensive effort to contain them.

Fury 1995 vs. Real Guadalupe (6:00 PM – CRSP #4)
Fury 1995 will be aiming for their first win after an intense 2-2 draw with Strikers 1836 FC last week. Chris Zuniga and Diego Fuentes found the net, showing Fury's attacking strength. However, defensive lapses cost them, and they'll need to tighten up against a Real Guadalupe side looking to recover from a 2-1 loss to Houston 1836 FC. David Bautista got on the scoresheet for Guadalupe, but they struggled to hold their lead. Expect a close battle between two teams eager to claim their first three points.
Houston 1836 FC vs. Houston Rangers (8:00 PM – CRSP #4)
Houston 1836 FC started their campaign with a 2-1 comeback win over Real Guadalupe, thanks to two goals from Vic Nwankwo.

Strikers 1836 FC vs. Titans FC (8:00 PM – CRSP #1 TURF)
After a thrilling 2-2 draw with Fury 1995, Strikers 1836 FC will look to break into the win column. The Monterro brothers, Luis and Antonio, showed their goal-scoring ability, but they'll need a stronger defensive effort against a Titans FC team desperate for a turnaround.

Fury FC vs. Houston United (8:00 PM – CRSP #3, Saturday, February 15th)
