Sacramento Republic FC Draws North Carolina FC, 0-0

July 13, 2024 - United Soccer League Championship (USL)
North Carolina FC News Release


SACRAMENTO, Calif. - North Carolina FC drew Sacramento Republic FC, 0-0, in a late-night USL Championship regular season matchup at Heart Health Park. NCFC is now 5-6-7 on the season.

NCFC put together plenty of scoring opportunities, outshooting Sacramento 12-7, but goalkeeper Danny Vitiello came up with two saves to keep NCFC from taking all three points.

The NCFC defense played well, allowing just one shot on target on the night and keeping Sacramento Republic from registering a shot in the first half. Paco Craig led that defensive charge, including a goal-saving tackle on reigning USL League One Player of the Year and Golden Boot winner Trevor Amann in the 50'.

Match Notes

Louis Perez made his 100th USL regular season appearance (USL Championship and USL League One combined).

NCFC did not allow a shot in the first half.
