Vitiello's save came in the 41st minute of a close match with El Paso Locomotive FC. From one defender to another, Gabriel Torres lofted a cross towards Kofi Twumasi at Republic FC's back post to set up El Paso's best chance of the match. Twumasi's headed a strong shot toward the left corner of Sacramento's net before an acrobatic save from July's USL Player of the Month sent the ball to safety. Vitiello made 6 crucial saves on Saturday, including his save of the week nomination. Republic FC ultimately fell 1-0, but Vitiello's heroics were key in keeping the team in the match.

Vitiello co-leads the USL in clean sheets with 8, leading a Republic FC defense that has conceded the fewest goals (17) in the league in 2025 season. He also ranks second in the league in save percentage (0.730) among goalkeepers with more than 3 matches played.

The Indomitable Club travel to face New Mexico United this Saturday in a decisive Western Conference matchup. The 6 p.m. match is available to watch on FOX40+ Smart TV App, FOX40.com, FOX40 Mobile App, and ESPN+.
