    From the club's game preview...

    One positive characteristic about Republic FC’s squad this season has been the teams’...ability to put a loss behind them...In 2019, the Indomitable Club post a 4-0-1 (W-L-D) record in all competitions in the match immediately after having tasted defeat. Aside from a 0-0 draw against Phoenix Rising in late April, Republic FC have outscored their opposition 10-0 during this recent rebound run.

    Fresno is unbeaten in four consecutive matches, including two straight victories in league play. Most recently, the team blanked El Paso Locomotive at home, 3-0, with all three goals finding the back of the net in the final half hour of action.

    The visitors have a solid attacking front, anchored by forward Qudus Lawal who leads the team with seven goals. Hot on his tail is former Wolverhampton and Blackburn striker Jemal Johnson with six this season. Fresno has four players with three goals a piece, one of them being former Republic FC forward and Fresno native, Christian Chaney.

    Sacramento Republic checks all the boxes:
    1. Dominate the first-half run of play. Check
    2. Squander multiple opportunities right in front of the opponent's goal. Check.
    3. Go into half 0-0. Check.
    4. Give up a goal against the run of play to fall behind. Check
    5. Fail to penetrate the attacking third against a bunkering opponent. Check.
    6. Lose, at home, 0-1. Check
    Seriously, how many times have we seen this?

    I missed the game, but based on your description, it sounds like the only thing i really missed was the Ubahdank.


    PSA - the espn3 app on 3G level service is unwatchable. Everyone have a fun and safe 4th!
