Oakland Roots Earn Point in Memphis

October 5, 2024 - United Soccer League Championship (USL)
Oakland Roots News Release


Oakland Roots fell behind early on the road, conceding in just 4 minutes when Memphis 901's Bruno Lapa received a cut-back pass and calmly slotted in the opening goal of the game.

After sustained pressure from Oakland, Memphis found the back of the net, but the goal was ruled offside, keeping the score at 1-0, in favor of the home side.

After a half hour of consistent pressure from Oakland, they finally broke their scoreless streak when Camden Riley found the net to equalize in the 36th minute. The teams went into halftime tied at 1-1, with Oakland having responded well to Memphis' early lead.

Oakland controlled much of the second half, with Justin Rasmussen and Johnny Rodriguez coming close to finding a late winner. Rodriguez hit the post with less than 15 minutes to go, narrowly missing the chance to give his team the lead as Oakland kept up the pressure.

The game ended in a 1-1 tie, with both sides picking up a crucial point as they continue their push for the playoffs.

Roots now return to the East Bay for their second-to-last home match to host Phoenix Rising FC on Saturday, Oct. 12th.
