OKC Energy FC opened its inaugural season Saturday evening with a 2-0 win over the Orange County Blues. Kyle Greig scored the first goal in franchise history, and Jimmy Nielsen got his first win as Energy FC head coach.

Greig's goal came in the 11th minute in front of 1,221 fans at Anteater Stadium. Christian Duke split the center backs with a through ball that found Greig, who put the ball past Blues keeper Patrick McLain.
