Match Highlights: Oakland Roots vs. Sacramento Republic FC

Roots came to Sacramento looking to test themselves against new Northern California rivals for the first time. After going down a goal inside the 20 minutes, Roots fought back as Chuy Enriquez leveled in the 26th minute throwing up the “O” in his post-goal celebration. Roots then took the lead when the 19-year-old, Ariel Mbumba from the South Bay, fired a rocket for his first professional goal as the road side headed into the half with a 2-1 lead.

The second half started on the back foot for Oakland, as Sacramento found their equalizer in the 60th minute through Sacrameto’s Cameron Iwasa. Roots once again took the lead through substitute Jeremy Bokila but were unable to hold the lead for more than two minutes as Sacramento tied the match at three all. Late chances fell to both sides in stoppage time but both sides were forced to settle with the draw.
