Oakland Roots Latest News:

Oakland Roots are looking to get back on track as the club dropped all three points vs. LA Galaxy II on Saturday. A late penalty call cost the Roots a chance at a point as the 1-0 result went the way of the visitors. Joseph Nane and Brian Brown both made their Oakland Roots debuts on the night as the team looked to get them incorporated heading into the final stretch of the season.

To Roots benefit, all the other pacific division results went their way, leaving the team in the same spot in the standings as they started the weekend. Roots remain in 5th place, just three points behind Tacoma for the final playoff spot. With Sacramento and LA Galaxy II both within one point of Oakland, the fight for that final spot will be a tight one between potentially four teams.
