Republic FC enters Saturday’s contest coming off a 2-2 draw against Orange County SC on July 24. The Indomitable Club fell behind after taking a 1-0 lead 23 minutes in, but came away with a tie when Nabi Kibunguchy headed in an excellent midfield cross from defender Mitch Taintor in the final seconds.
Kibunguchy’s score at the death, just three minutes after entering for Kharlton Belmar, was the first career goal for the UC Davis and SRFC Academy Product. Sacramento will look for more contributions on both sides of the ball from the defender, who has impressed in his minutes thus far this season.
