Sacramento Republic FC

Let's let the USL Championship website load.

Sacramento Republic.

That's a more difficult game.

Again, the key thing here is... that even with a draw, if those results kind of maybe pan out, maybe don't, I think with a San Antonio win, you're still kind of looking at a scenario where it's growing increasingly, increasingly unlikely.

Yeah.

With the exception of like Sacramento Republic in 2014.

Yeah.

I- it's, it's rare that teams come in and, and kind of do what RISC have done.

Back-to-back possibility here.

Winning last year in Sacramento, thanks to a goal from Samuel Cariaga.

Hartford had been flying going into this one.

They entered the final on an 11-game unbeaten run dating back to August 9.

What an achievement that is.

Tulsa punishing New Mexico and setting that record as well.

Sacramento took on Las Vegas.

Last match to talk about before we get into the USL Cup Final, and it was Oleks Anderson finishing Pinzon's pass in the 13th minute for Las Vegas.

Yeah, depending on when your first round match is, want to get some rotation at the end of a long season.

Well, right now, El Paso is four points clear of both New Mexico and Sacramento.

And that's right.

New Mexico goes to Sacramento and El Paso.

Right now, the team they're tied with for second and the team who's in first.

That's why getting these two is so important at home.

They are now in third place.

And then Sacramento hosts Las Vegas.

That one we're rooting for Sacramento.

We want the teams that are ahead of us to stay ahead of us.

And we don't want the teams around us to win and get three points.

I

know.

Sacramento.

So, Canaan...

Dekel Kanon is currently in his third season on the staff in Orange County, having previously competed in the USL Championship for FC Cincinnati, Sacramento, and Las Vegas at the conclusion of a lengthy career in Europe.

Kanon made 86 appearances in the championship, locking a little bit over 6,500 minutes over five seasons in the league.

Between the two sides, only Pittsburgh had... international representation.

Because if Las Vegas can get the win over San Antonio, things could get very, very tricky.

San Antonio, we had to say it, on thin ice.

New Mexico taking on Sacramento.

New Mexico United had Neil Reed-Steven for Barbados, representing International Duty.
