After 90 minutes and stoppage time, nothing separated Orange County SC and their northern neighbors Sacramento Republic FC. Both teams dropped in the table following the result, but more importantly, both earned a point in what is still a tense Western Conference.

OCSC nearly struck in the first minute of play, as Walker Hume got his head to a free kick from Aodhan Quinn, but Rafael Diaz was in the right place to save his side from conceding an early goal. It would prove to be the only shot on goal for the hosts.

Sacramento was unable to offer much else in their offensive efforts, with the most dangerous chances being shut down by Walker Hume and Michael Orozco. The defensive pair remained resilient in front of a dangerous counterattacking side. Sac Republic nearly found the goal late in the second half, but the center backs were successful in using their combined size and pace to force the shot over the crossbar. The duo continued to limit the visitors to low quality chances.
