Smith’s Rhode Island Lift USL Cup After Penalty Drama (Soccer).
Khano Smith�s Rhode Island FC closed out their 2026 Prinx Tires USL Cup campaign in spectacular fashion, defeating Brooklyn FC 4-3 in a dramatic penalty shootout after a tense 1-1 draw at Centreville Bank Stadium. In a match that had just about everything, it was RIFC goalkeeper Koke Vegas who stole the headlines, saving a crucial Brooklyn penalty before stepping up to bury the winning spot-kick himself to send the home crowd into raptures. The Ocean State club looked to be on course for victory in normal time when Agust�n �Pity� Rodr�guez netted his first-ever goal for RIFC, breaking the deadlock with a clinical finish that ignited the stadium. However, Brooklyn FC refused to go quietly into the night. The visitors ramped up the pressure in the second half and found their lifeline through Juan Carlos Obreg�n Jr., who curled a magnificent free-kick past Vegas to level the scores and ultimately force the match into extra time and penalties. "To win it like this, in front of our own fans, is something truly special," said a beaming Khano Smith after the match.
