Republic FC dominated the scoring chances department in the first 25 minutes of the match. Forward Adam Jahn had the first scoring chance for Republic FC in the 10th minute when he sprinted past the defense and onto a dangerous through ball from midfielder Octavio Guzman. Jahn was able to flick the ball past oncoming Real Monarchs keeper Eduardo Fernandez, but still had to beat two defenders. Jahn fought off one defender and sent a shot at the goal but could not find the far post as the shot rolled wide and out of play.
Real Monarchs nearly scored in the 27th minute when midfielder Maikon Orellana got on the end of a looping cross. Republic FC keeper Dominik Jakubek had to come off his line to deal with the cross but could not get a glove to the ball. Orellana barely got a touch to the ball as he sent it back across the face of the wide open net, but it rolled all the way to defender Kip Colvey who was able to clear the ball away, keeping the match scoreless into the break.

Republic FC’s MLS affiliate, the San Jose Earthquakes, managed to earn a point on Saturday thanks to a late-match equalizer to draw DC United 1-1.
Forward Adam Jahn, who has spent time on loan with Republic FC this season and in 2014, struck a sliding hit into the back of the net in the 88th minute for the Quakes.
Quakes Head Coach Dominic Kinnear attributed both Jahn’s and midfielder Tommy Thompson’s standout performances in the match to the time spent on loan with Republic FC at the start of this USL season. Both Jahn and Thompson started for Republic FC in their 1-0 win against Seattle Sounders FC 2 on Friday, Mar. 25.
“I know something like that helps them…It’s a fair point, you know. I thought both of them looked very sharp in practice this week,” said Kinnear. “Talking to Paul Buckle, the coach for Sacramento, he said they both performed very well and both had good weeks of training with the team. So, I think any time you get game minutes it gives you more confidence, and I thought they had a good little bounce in their step this week in practice and I think it’s the reason why they looked confident stepping on the field.”
Coincidentally, Jahn—a Jesuit High School alumni—scored in the Quakes match less than 30 seconds apart from forward Cameron Iwasa, also a Jesuit alumni, who scored the match-winning goal for Republic FC against Arizona United SC.
