Republic FC Goalkeeper Danny Vitiello Nominated for USL Championship Week 13 Save of the Week
June 4, 2024 - United Soccer League Championship (USL)
Sacramento Republic FC News Release
Today, the USL Championship announced that Republic FC goalkeeper Danny Vitiello's 66th-minute save against the Tampa Bay Rowdies has been nominated for Fans' Choice Save of the Week for Week 13. Voting is open now at USLChampionship.com through Friday, June 7 at 9:00 a.m. PT.
The leaping effort denied a second goal from the visitors mid-way through the second half. Tampa Bay's Lewis Hilton went for goal on a set play opportunity, aiming for the near post, but Vitiello punched the ball away to keep it out of the top corner. Vitiello would finish the match with a season high eight saves.

This is Vitiello's second consecutive nomination for the weekly fan vote and fourth this season. He won last week's honor for a second half save that preserved Republic FC's clean sheet against Birmingham Legion FC.
Republic FC returns to the pitch this Saturday on the road, taking on Monterey Bay F.C. from Seaside, California. Kickoff is set for 7:00 p.m. and the match will be broadcast live in English and Spanish on Antenna TV 40.2 and streaming on FOX40.com, the Fox40 News mobile app, and ESPN+.
