Kibunguchy’s goal continued the club’s trend of substitutes finding the back of the net late in the match. Taintor gave SRFC a hard-fought road point with a stoppage time equalizer at San Diego Loyal SC back on July 3, and Jaime Villareal secured the second win of the season for the boys in Old Glory Red on May 12 four minutes after subbing on.
Sacramento Republic FC returns to Heart Health Park on Saturday, July 31 with an 8:00 p.m. kickoff against New York Red Bulls II.
