SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Hayden Partain's first-half strike lifted Sacramento Republic FC to a 1-0 win at home over Portland Timbers 2 in front of a sold-out crowd at Papa Murphy's Park on Saturday night.

The 24-year-old midfielder scored his second goal of the season on a cross from teammate Juan Barahona in the 41st minute. Barahona, making his first start since signing with the club in May, whipped a ball into the box that Partain chested down before firing a left-footed effort past Jake Leeker that would prove to be the game-winner.

Portland pressed for the equalizer in the second half, forcing Sacramento's Josh Cohen to make a diving save at his near post in the 56th minute to deny Brayan Hurtado. Defender Matt Mahoney then made a goal-line save three minutes later to ensure that Republic FC left with all three points.

The win moves the Indomitable Club up to 26 points and the eighth spot in the Western Conference standings with 17 games played in the season. Up next for Republic FC is an international friendly on Tuesday, July 16, against the U-20s of Liga MX's Club America. The team then resumes league play with a visit to Rio Grande Vally Toros FC on Saturday, July 20.
