Rayo OKC extended its unbeaten streak to nine games in a 2-0 victory over the Fort Lauderdale Strikers at Central Broward Stadium on Saturday night. With the loss, Fort Lauderdale is eliminated from postseason contention, while Rayo OKC will play for the No. 4 seed on the final weekend of the Fall season.

After a scoreless first half, Rayo OKC (8W-8D-5L, 32 Fall; 11-11-9, 44 Combined) scored a quick goal to open the second interval. Michel's free kick in the 50th minute was parried by Fort Lauderdale (6-5-10, 23 Fall; 10-8-13, 38 Combined) goalkeeper Bruno, but fell to Sebastien Ibeagha, who tucked it into the side netting. Rayo OKC iced the game in second-half stoppage time when Michel slipped a pass to Pecka and the former Strikers player sent his shot past Bruno inside the far post.
